In this paper we show how to integrate JavaCC, a popular translator-generation tool, with any standard XML parsing environment supporting the SAX specification. This integration lets developers build efficient XML processing applications which act as left-to-right, one-pass translators. The integration also facilitates the maintenance of these applications, since they are specified as syntax-directed translation schemas instead of being directly programmed in a general-purpose programming language. This integration proposal also allows for exploiting the modularization capabilities of the SAX-based underlying processing framework, which is capable of piping several translators that are working concurrently. This concurrent processing facilitates the modularization of complex processing tasks in more affordable, simpler translators, which can be developed and maintained using separated translation schemas.
