Here are some additional examples:
- most transformations
- producing a rendered version of an XML document (electronic or
paper)
- context-sensitive searching
Your example, extracting data, itself covers a wide range of
applications:
- database import/export
- online transactions
- configuration information
- meta-data exchange
- general client/server protocols
Essentially, SAX should cover most general requirements (most
transformations occur as part of a processing chain, and do not need
saved comments, internal entity references, etc.). Those applications
that do need access to lexical information -- mainly authoring tools
and repositories -- will, of course, need to use a different or
extended API.
All the best,
David
