XML Parser and Its Types

Definition of XML Parser:

- A parser in XML is software that is responsible for reading and processing XML documents.

- Its main purpose is to validate the structure of the document.

- It also extracts data from the document in a way that can be easily processed by other software

applications.

Types of XML Parsers:

- There are two types of XML parsers: SAX and DOM.

- A SAX (Simple API for XML) parser reads an XML document sequentially and generates events,

which are notifications of the parser's progress through the document.

- This type of parser is generally faster and uses less memory than a DOM parser.

- However, it is less convenient for random access to the document's content.

- A DOM (Document Object Model) parser loads the entire XML document into memory and creates

a tree-like structure that represents the document's elements and their relationships.

- This type of parser is slower and uses more memory than a SAX parser but provides random

access to the document's content.
