Abstract
Broad XML support is obtained through use of a set of streaming parser APIs. An application or client needing access to an XML document can contact an XML parser, XML processor, or XML reader in order to gain access to the document. The XML processor selects and instantiates a streaming parser API that is appropriate for the XML document and the client or application. Streaming parser APIs include raw streaming parser APIs, non-validating streaming parser APIs, and validating streaming parser APIs. The XML parser can then provide a variety of types of access to the application or client that does not require the entire document to be read into memory, including providing an XML stream, pulling XML information, and skipping unwanted XML from the document.
