Unlike the DOM parser, the SAX parser does not create an in-memory representation of the XML document and so runs faster and uses less memory. Instead, the SAX parser informs clients of the XML document structure by invoking callbacks, that is, by invoking methods on an DefaultHandler instance provided to the parser.
JDOM is an open-source Java-based document object model for XML that was designed specifically for the Java platform so that it can take advantage of its language features. [1] JDOM integrates with Document Object Model (DOM) and Simple API for XML (SAX), supports XPath and XSLT. [2] It uses external parsers to build documents.
SAX (Simple API for XML) is an event-driven online algorithm for lexing and parsing XML documents, with an API developed by the XML-DEV mailing list. [1] SAX provides a mechanism for reading data from an XML document that is an alternative to that provided by the Document Object Model (DOM).
In computing, Xerces is Apache's collection of software libraries for parsing, validating, serializing and manipulating XML. The library implements a number of standard APIs for XML parsing, including DOM, SAX and SAX2. The implementation is available in the Java, C++ and Perl programming languages.
Streaming API for XML (StAX) is an application programming interface to read and write XML documents, originating from the Java programming language community. Traditionally, XML APIs are either: DOM based - the entire document is read into memory as a tree structure for random access by the calling application
Jakarta XML Binding (JAXB) — formerly Java Architecture for XML Binding (this was its official Sun name, even though it is an API, see ) StAX (Streaming XML processing) — compatible with JDK 1.4 and above, included in JDK 1.6; Only the Java API for XML Processing (JAXP) is a required API in Enterprise Java Beans Specification 1.3.
The Document Object Model (DOM) is a cross-platform and language-independent interface that treats an HTML or XML document as a tree structure wherein each node is an object representing a part of the document. The DOM represents a document with a logical tree. Each branch of the tree ends in a node, and each node contains objects.
It markets itself as providing a sensible, easy-to-understand API for reading, writing, modifying, and querying documents. It is available for ruby as well as java through Jruby. It provides fast and standards-compliant parser by relying on native parsers like libxml2 and xerces (JRuby).
