DOM Parsers for Java
DOM is defined almost completely in terms of interfaces rather than classes. Different parsers provide their own custom implementations of these standard interfaces. This offers a great deal of flexibility. Generally you do not install the DOM interfaces on their own. Instead they come bundled with a parser distribution that provides the detailed implementation classes. DOM isn't quite as broadly supported as SAX, but most of the major Java parsers provide it, including Crimson, Xerces, XML for Java, the Oracle XML Parser for Java, and GNU JAXP.
DOM is not complete to itself. Almost all significant DOM programs need to use some parser-specific classes. DOM programs are not too difficult to port from one parser to another, ...
