Java XML Parsers

Java XML parsers are tools that read and process XML files, which are used to store and transport data in a structured way. In Java, there are two main types of parsers: DOM (Document Object Model) and SAX (Simple API for XML). The DOM parser loads the entire XML document into memory, allowing easy manipulation but requiring more resources. In contrast, the SAX parser reads the document sequentially, using less memory, but doesn't allow for easy data manipulation. These parsers enable Java applications to interact with XML data effectively, making it essential for data exchange and configuration tasks.
