• It's a way to process XML documents incrementally; the whole document doesn't have to go into memory
• It's a part of XSLT 3.0

• You can process web sites that emit a continuous stream of XML
• You can process huge documents, Gigabyte-sized XML documents
• You can generate huge output, and the output flows incrementally

Recall that I said you can process web sites that emit a continuous stream of XML. A colleague, James Garriss, wrote a tool (he calls it Deluge) to enable this. He is graciously open-sourcing his tool. He said that I should inform you that it is a NetBeans project. You can download Deluge here Deluge (zip file, ~ 1.4 MB)
