Hi,
I found most of the java applications are using xerces parser for parsing xml's. I think parsing can be done by using standard java packages without using these third party jars. Can anybody explain the advantage of using these xerces(or any other) over sun's impl.

Several generations ago in the Java universe, the Xerces libraries were considered the best available. Ever since about Java 1.4 the standard library in the SDK has been perfectly usable. There has always been a lot of communication between people working on Sun's libraries and IBM's libraries with various Apache Software Foundation projects such as Xerces so that should be no surprise.
These days I would feel very silly telling a customer that he or she has to install separate libraries when they have Java 1.5 or 1.6 already.
