+The Digester package lets you configure an XML -> Java object mapping module,
+which triggers certain actions called rules whenever a particular pattern of
+nested XML elements is recognized. A rich set of predefined rules is available
+for your use, or you can also create your own. Advanced features of Digester
+include:
+
+  - Ability to plug in your own pattern matching engine, if the standard one is
+    not sufficient for your requirements.
+  - Optional namespace-aware processing, so that you can define rules that are
+    relevant only to a particular XML namespace.
+  - Encapsulation of Rules into RuleSets that can be easily and conveniently
+    reused in more than one application that requires the same type of
+    processing
