What is SAX?

Michael Claßen,

SAX stands for Simple API for XML. It is a de-facto standard interface
for an XML parser to turn an XML document into a sequence of events,
such as "encountered start tag <name>", "encountered text", and so on.
This is a good way for processing large XML documents where not much
cross-referencing is needed. For random-access to an XML document one
should look at DOM instead.
