Description

DOM Level 2 is a platform- and language-neutral interface that allows programs and scripts to dynamically access and update the content and structure of documents. The DOM Level 2 Core builds on the DOM Level 1 Core, and consists of a set of core interfaces that create and manipulate the structure and contents of a document. The Core also contains specialized interfaces dedicated to XML.

SAXThe Simple API for XML is a free API for event-based XML parsing.

Status

SAX was collaboratively developed by the XML-DEV mailing list (hosted by OASIS). The current release is SAX 2.0, dated May 2000. SAX is maintained by David Megginson at http://www.megginson.com/SAX/.

Description

SAX2 is a new Java-based release of SAX. SAX2 introduces configurable features and properties and adds support for XML Namespaces. It also includes adapters that allow it to interoperate with SAX1 parsers and applications.
