I have developed a parsing framework called LSAX that I would
like to submit to BioJava.  It was inspired by the work of Cambridge
Antibody Technology (Simon Brocklehurst et al.) on the BioJava
BlastLikeSaxParser.  The idea is the same -- create a bridge
between XML applications and Non-XML data.  The difference
between the CAT parser and LSAX is in the design of the raw
file parser.  I use LEX (actually JFLEX) to tokenize the raw
data files and generate Start, Data, and End SAX events.  I have
developed two parsers using this framework an NCBI Blast and
a Fasta parser.  The advantage to using LEX is that you can specify
the rules of your parser at a high level with regular expressions.  The
actual parser is then auto-generated using JFLEX and is often times
faster than a parser you would write by hand.

Let me know if you would like to include this in BioJava,
