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).
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.
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.
However, XML data binding systems allow applications to access XML data directly from objects representing a data structure of the data in the programming language used, which ensures type safety, rather than using the DOM or SAX to retrieve data from a direct representation of the XML itself.
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. The name "Xerces" is believed to commemorate the extinct Xerces blue butterfly ( Glaucopsyche xerces ).
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.
Microsoft XML Core Services (MSXML) are set of services that allow applications written in JScript, VBScript, and Microsoft development tools to build Windows-native XML-based applications. It supports XML 1.0, DOM , SAX , an XSLT 1.0 processor, XML schema support including XSD and XDR , as well as other XML-related technologies.
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
