Is MSXML pure Java?

FYI, My FREE-DOM package (formerly called SAXDOM) can be used with MSXML if
you combine two drivers: one for bridging FREE-DOM to SAX and another for
bridging SAX to MSXML.  A direct driver from FREE-DOM to MSXML as well as
other popular parsers is planned.

FREE-DOM can be obtained at:
