Working with XML
The Java^TM/ XML Tutorial

Working with XML, the Java^TM XML Tutorial, is an online manual that can quickly get you up to speed writing XML code and XML-based software for end-user applications. Using step-by-step walkthroughs and lots of code examples, the Tutorial is divided into three major parts that cover the following topics:

• Understanding XML and the Java XML APIs explains the basics of XML and gives you a guide to the acronyms associated with it. It also provides an overview of the Java XML APIs you can use to manipulate XML-based data.
  
  
• Serial Access with the Simple API for XML (SAX) tells you how to read an XML file sequentially, and walks you through the callbacks the parser makes to event-handling methods you supply.
  
  
• Manipulating Document Contents with the Document Object Model (DOM) explains how to create a hierarchy of objects from an XML document so you can randomly access it and modify its contents. This is also the API you use to write an XML file after creating a tree of objects in memory.
