XML: SAX or DOM? (0)
September 22nd, 2009 by Frank Niedermann, under Java.
There are some differences between the SAX and DOM XML parser. The main difference in one sentence are:
1. SAX reads the XML document once and can react on events but it won’t save the XML structure in memory.
2. DOM reads the XML document and stores it in a tree which allows manipulation or to extract information from the XML document more than once.
SAX is easy and fast, DOM builds a tree and allows manipulation.
