About this tutorial

This tutorial details the use of kXML 2r2.1.8, a small XML pull parser specially designed for constrained environments, to access, parse, and display XML files for Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME)-enabled devices. This kXML version is based on the common XML pull API and is BSD-licensed. This tutorial demonstrates how to build a mobile application that brings XML data to wireless J2ME devices, and instructs you on how to craft a MIDlet that performs the necessary logic and deploys it to a J2ME environment.
