Differences between SAX and DOM parsers :

Both SAX and DOM are used to parse the XML document. Both has advantages and disadvantages and can be used in our programming depending on the situation

SAX:

1. Parses node by node

2. Doesnt store the XML in memory

3. We cant insert or delete a node

4. Top to bottom traversing

DOM :

1. Stores the entire XML document into memory before processing

2. Occupies more memory

3. We can insert or delete nodes

4. Traverse in any direction.

If we need to find a node and doesnt need to insert or delete we can go with SAX itself otherwise DOM provided we have more memory.
