For XML parsers you might consider the following:
James Clark's XT- widely regarded.
Microsoft's parser which is now built into the Internet Explorer 5.0
beta
DataChannel's version of the above.
IBM/Alphaworks parser.
The last three are all java based; all are free. While each comes with
some instructions for use, none could be called transparent in its use.
We use an earlier version of the MS parser which works ok- it's error
reporting is limited to a short notation of the problem and the line
location of its occurance
