What is SAX?

SAX (Simple API for XML) is an event-driven, serial access mechanism to parse XML documents. Unlike DOM (Document Object Model), SAX doesn't build an in-memory tree representation of the XML document. Instead, it reports parsing events (like start/end of elements, text content) directly to the application, which allows for efficient processing of very large XML files with low memory footprint. It's commonly used when you need to read and process XML data sequentially without the need to modify the XML structure.

What other technologies are related to SAX?

SAX Competitor Technologies

DOM (Document Object Model) provides a way to represent and manipulate XML documents in memory. It's a competitor to SAX because it offers a different approach to parsing XML, loading the entire document into memory at once, while SAX parses sequentially.

SAX Complementary Technologies

XPath is a query language for XML documents. While SAX provides a parsing mechanism, XPath can be used to navigate the parsed XML document and extract specific data, hence complementary.

SAX is a parser for XML documents, so XML is what SAX processes. Thus, XML is complementary.
