THE XML REVOLUTION  -  TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE FUTURE WEB

JDOM input and output

• this can be done with basically any DOM or SAX parser
• SAX is preferable, since it avoids the construction of a DOM tree
• parsing errors are reported as exceptions

Output from JDOM can be generated in different ways:

• as the corresponding sequence of SAX events
• as a standard DOM tree
• as an (indented) XML document represented as a stream of characters
  (to a file or another application)
