Package javax.xml.parsers Description

Java XML Parsing API (supports SAX 1.0 and DOM 2.0). JAXP is a standard API to parse XML using either the SAX callback API or directly into the DOM (Document Object Model.) Using JAXP, application code can remain XML-parser independent.

A typical use to create a DOM Document is:

DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder parser = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = parser.parse(myInputSource);

A typical use to create a SAX parser is:

SAXParserFactory factory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
Parser parser = factory.newSAXParser();
parser.setDocumentHandler(myDocumentHandler);
parser.parse(myInputSource);
