Difference Beteen DOM & SAX

[Rahul Deshmukh]

Hi everybody,
I need to know the diference between DOM & SAX. Also the design stratagies to choose one of them. I need to know which is more efficient in which conditions. If some one give me the functional detail of each it will be easy for me to compare them.
Thanks

The main differnce is SAX is event based parser implementation and DOM is Tree based parser implementation, now this would certainly give performance differences when searching, inserting(updating) etc based on the type of XML document and its size.
