XSLTC, the fast, compiling transformer (now the default engine for XSLT processing).●
DOM Level 3 core, which provides:
XML 1.1 and Namespaces 1.1 (javax.xml.namespace), which provide better
support for Unicode characters in tag names and namespaces.
❍
Support for normalization of documents.❍
Support for schema data types (TypeInfo).❍
Better ErrorHandling methods and identification of an error's location.❍
Bootstrapping  support of an implementation independent way to obtain
DOMImplementation.
❍
The setting of application data in a node and the setting of the
UserDataHandler method, which gets called whenever a node is cloned,
removed, renamed.

●
Java-centric XPath APIs in the javax.xml.xpath package, which provide a more
java-friendly way to use an XPath expression. This API is applicable to any data model

DOM.
●
An implementation of W3C XML Inclusions, XInclude, which allows you to build a

new libraries, you can make sure the application is using them.
●
Bit Manipulation Operations
The wrapper classes (Integer, Long, Short, Byte, and Char) now support common
bit-manipulation operations, which include highestOneBit, lowestOneBit,
numberOfLeadingZeros, numberOfTrailingZeros, bitCount, rotateLeft,
rotateRight, reverse, signum, and reverseBytes.
Math Library
The BigDecimal class has added support for fixed-precision, floating-point
computation.
●
The Math and StrictMath libraries include hyperbolic transcendental functions
(sinh, cosh, tanh), cube root, base 10 logarithm, and so forth.
●
Hexadecimal floating-point support allows precise and predictable specification of
particular floating-point values. You can use hexadecimal notation for floating-point
