Understanding Sax

This document provides an introduction to using the Simple API for XML (SAX) to parse XML documents. It discusses how SAX works by generating events as it parses an XML stream, without building a tree structure like the Document Object Model (DOM). The document compares the pros and cons of SAX's event-based parsing versus DOM's tree-based approach, and provides guidance on when each approach is better suited based on factors like file size and whether the data needs to be modified.
