Dom - Sax

This document compares DOM and SAX parsers for XML documents. DOM stores the entire XML document in memory before processing, allows inserting and deleting nodes, and traversing in any direction but uses more memory and runs slower. SAX parses nodes sequentially without storing the XML in memory, cannot modify nodes, and runs faster but does not preserve comments. The document also provides code samples for using SAX to parse an XML file.

Preserves comments
DOM generally runs a little
slower than SAX

SAX
1. Create Factory object

2. Create Parser object from factory object

3. Create Handler object by using
DefaultHandler class

4. Read xml file by using Parser and Handler
SAX
SAXParserFactory factory =
SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
SAXParser saxParser = factory.newSAXParser();
DefaultHandler handler = new DefaultHandler() {}
saxParser.parse("test.xml", handler);
SAX DefaultHandler Override
