XML is a popular medium for representing, transforming, and sharing data among applications. Some say that XML is so great because it's "Everything and nothing." This has led to applications of XML to areas outside of its element. XML is often used as the basis of a custom scripting language. As a result, common programmatic constructs are duplicated and the code is difficult to understand; XML tools are not designed to support this. This paper shows a few examples from the Java community using XML as a scripting language. The paper also shows those same examples in Jython, in order to demonstrate the usefulness of a scripting language.
