XML Parser

[bhama kumaran]

Hi ,
I am new in working on websphere:rolleyes:
How can I create XML files from a predefined DTD? Do I need anything such as SAX,JaXP,JAXB Xceres kind of thing?
What is the XML parser I can use to parse XML documents? What is the default parser used in websphere?

Thanks

You can use Altova XML Spy to generate xml from DTD.

DOM or SAX could be use to parse the xml in java, but they are used in different scenarios.

When to use DOM parser :

- Manipulate the document
- Traverse the document back and forth
- Small XML files
Drawbacks of DOM parser :
- Consumes lot of memory

When to use SAX parser :

- No structural modification
- Huge XML files

By default websphere uses xerces parser.
