The simple API for XML (SAX) is the leading API for event-driven XML processing. A comprehensive tutorial and reference, The Book of SAX includes everything you need to use SAX 2.0. Learn how to develop a fully functioning SAX application as well as a complete, non-validating XML 1.0 parser that implements the SAX 2.0 API. Numerous examples show how to use SAX to solve XML parsing problems that are impossible to address with tree-based technologies.
The Book of SAX includes everything XML and Java developers need to write SAX applications. Specific examples show how to use SAX to solve XML parsing problems that are impractical to address with tree-based technologies-including real-time parsing, very large documents, and high-performance applications. The authors guide readers through the development of picoSAX, a functioning SAX 2.0 XML parser.
