We will be developing a software application which will be manipulating XMLs, XSLs, XPath, etc. I would like to ask which programming language (JAVA or Visual C++) is more efficient to use with XMLs.

I can't speak to working with XML in VC++, but I've done it in Java and there are several packages and APIs available for you to use. I used a very small package called XParse-J. There's the standard JAXP, there are a couple of apache packages that are very comprehensive and include some XSL and XPath support. Go to comp.lang.java.programmer and search for XML parser.

Good luck.

I second the answer above, I would think XML and XML-related processing is best done with Java.

Java APIs for XML parsing in JAXP/Xerces and SAX/DOM have abundant references in the net. Besides if the application is web-based, Java would be more tailored for it.

Good luck.
