RE: Creating XML document

["Clapham, Paul" <pclapham@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

SAX is a sequential method of producing XML that doesn't require storing the
whole document in memory.  Roughly speaking you give the XML writer a series
of events like "document starting", "Foo element starting", "Characters
BAR", "Foo element ending", "document ending", and the writer outputs the
equivalent well-formed XML.  (This would fit very well with the RPG
processing cycle if your XML structure was more than one level deep.)

Paul, thanks a lot. This was very informative. Could
you just throw a few more words on third option: SAX
input to XML writer. Is that what JAXP is
"suggesting"? Doesn't it involve DOM again?
