• An event-driven online algorithm for lexing and parsing XML documents. SAX provides a mechanism for reading data from an XML document that is an alternative to that provided by the Document Object Model (DOM). Where the DOM operates on the document as a whole—building the full abstract syntax tree of an XML document for convenience of the user—, SAX parsers operate on each piece of the XML document sequentially, issuing parsing events while making a single pass through the input stream. ← Wikipedia
