As I understand it - SAX lets you stream the xml data, providing events that can be trapped as and when needed. So, biggest advantage - it doesn't have to maintain an in-memory tree of the document. Two questions here - 1) Without loading the document, how does a sax-based parser know that the document is valid and well-formed ? Is that something that I sacrifice when I use a sax - parser ? 2a) Now, the document hasn;t been loaded yet , so how do I apply transformation or xsl-fo to the xml-document ? Is that something that 'they' are still trying to figure out - or is there some documentation somewhere 2b) Does Xalan do this ? ( thanks Simon for the earlier reply)
