Try the links in "Partners" section of this page.

There are several parsers available, falling into 2 main cathegories: SAX parsers and DOM parsers. There is really a lot to talk about them. Do a search for the above and try to ask some more specific questions.

DOM and SAX are available for C++ AND JAVA.

As for use cases, any hierarchical database can be expressed in XML. Actually... just about anything can be expressed... Even HTML can be regarded as a subset of XML.

The simplest definition:

XML =
<Tag>
<Tag1> ...
<Tag1>
</Tag>...
