One embodiment of the present invention is an apparatus that processes XML, which apparatus comprises (a) an XML interface module that applies Document Type Definitions, XML Schema, XPath expressions and other XML model information to an XML model processor and applies XML character stream data to a parallel bit stream module, (b) an XML model processor that supplies symbol table entries to an XML symbol table module and regular expressions for validating XML data values to regular expression compiler, (c) an XML symbol table module that stores symbol table entries for later use in parsing, (d) a regular expression compiler that produces dynamic executable code for validating regular expressions using parallel bit streams, (e) a lexical item stream module that generates lexical items relevant to XML parsing and to validation of compiled regular expressions, (f) a transcoder that converts UTF-8 to UTF-16 as required, (g) a parser that makes parsing decisions in response to character streams in combination with lexical item streams and (h) a parsed data receiver to receive parsed data items from the parser.
