23. What is the difference between SAX and DOM?
 
  • The Simple API for XML(SAX) and the Document Object Model(DOM) are both defined by the W3C.
  • Unlike a SAX parser, a DOM parser allows random access to particular pieces of data in an XML document.
  • Another difference is that with a SAX parser, you can only read an XML document, but with a DOM parser, you can build an object representation of the document and manipulate it in memory, adding a new element or deleting an existing one.
