Why Use Progress SAX?

The advantages of SAX over the Document Object Model (DOM) interface are well known. Two major advantages are:

  1. SAX requires much less memory than DOM does.
  2. An application using SAX can stop the XML parser as soon as it has all the data it needs, even if it has parsed only part of the XML document. This might save a lot of processing time.

Yet, Progress SAX is just as easy to set up as Progress DOM.
