Where Do You Go from Here?
At this point, you have enough information to begin picking your own way through the JAXP libraries. Your next step depends on what you want to accomplish. You might want to go to any of these chapters:

If you need to build an object tree from XML data so you can manipulate it in an application, or convert an in-memory tree of objects to XML.
If you need to transform XML tags into some other form, if you want to generate XML output, or (in combination with the SAX API) if you want to convert legacy data structures to XML.
