:Of course SAX, don't waste memory for superfluous temporary DOM.
I don't think it was a fair answer. Both tokenizing and tree processing have
their pros and cons. Advantages of SAX are:
* Low memory (as mentioned), thus faster
* Better keyword searches
Disadvantages of SAX are:
* Easily forgets previous elements it worked on
* Not easy to re-order elements
* Cannot validate an XML document
* Canot easily verify ID-REF links
First figure out what it is you're trying to achieve. Size of the documents
you're planning to work on is very important as well!
In fact, SAX-like processors are used to produce DOM-like processors.
