Java SAX tutorial
Java SAX tutorial shows how to use Java SAX API to read and validate XML documents. SAX SAX (Simple API for XML) is an event-driven algorithm for parsing XML documents. SAX is an alternative to the Document Object Model (DOM). Where the DOM reads the whole document to operate on XML, SAX parsers read XML node by node, issuing parsing events while making a step through the input stream. SAX processes documents state-independently (the handling of an element does not depend on the elements that came before). SAX parsers are read-only. SAX parsers are faster and require less memory.
