This backend is based on the new - and very fast and comfortable - XML api added to JDK 1.6 (JSR-173).
No external libraries are necessary to use the Stax backend. But it is suggested to add Woodstox or another Stax aware XML processor to improve the performance.
Serializers should extend AbstractStaxSerializer.
