SAX is the Simple API +for XML and allows programs to: + +* process a XML document incrementally, thus being able to handle huge + documents without memory penalties; +* register handler functions which are called by the parser during the + processing of the document, handling the document elements or text. + +With an event-based API like SAX the XML document can be fed to the parser in +chunks, and the parsing begins as soon as the parser receives the first +document chunk. LuaExpat reports parsing events (such as the start and end of +elements) directly to the application through callbacks. The parsing of huge +documents can benefit from this piecemeal operation. + +WWW: http://www.keplerproject.org/luaexpat |
