What Is SAX?
The users of the XML-DEV mailing list originally developed SAX, the Simple API for XML, in 1998. Simply stated, SAX is an event-based model for accessing XML document contents. SAX invokes methods when certain conditions (such as start tags and end tags) are encountered as an XML document is sequentially read from start to finish.
