+The Digester package lets you configure an XML -> Java object mapping module,
+which triggers certain actions called rules whenever a particular pattern of
+nested XML elements is recognized. A rich set of predefined rules is available
+for your use, or you can also create your own. Advanced features of Digester
+include:
+
+ - Ability to plug in your own pattern matching engine, if the standard one is
+ not sufficient for your requirements.
+ - Optional namespace-aware processing, so that you can define rules that are
+ relevant only to a particular XML namespace.
+ - Encapsulation of Rules into RuleSets that can be easily and conveniently
+ reused in more than one application that requires the same type of
+ processing
