Abstract
An apparatus, method, and program product are provided for parsing a document. A match point tuple is passed to a parser instance. The match point tuple comprises a match point. The parser instance stream parses an XML stream. In response to a match point statement in the XML stream matching the match point expression in the match point tuple, the parser instance constructs a DOM instance comprising XML content matching the match point. In a sample embodiment, the match point tuple further comprises a filter, and the parser instance adds XML statements that pass the filter to the DOM instance and discards statements that do not pass the filter.
