There are many differences with DOM and SAX. Likse SAX is event based. Can i have some implemnted applications where SAX was preferred over DOM.

Thanks,

Some indications that you might want to use SAX:
1. XML documents too large to fit in available memory
2. Only a small amount of information needs to be pulled from the document
3. The document processing can be done in a "straight thru" pass - for example extracting data from many identical records to a CSV text file.
