The parse-xml-info tool of xml-tools parses the input against the xml grammar and returns the result in xml-info format. This tool rewrites standard and well-known entities and resolves namespaces.

Optionally (but highly recommended) you can use the standard XML parser in Java instead of the XML grammar of xml-tools. This parser is likely to produce better results and will be much faster. With the --parser jaxp option you can specify that you want to use this parser. You should have configured xml-tools --with-j2re to make this work.
