SAX (Simple API for XML)

SAX (Simple API for XML) is a way for programs to read and process XML files efficiently. Instead of loading the entire file into memory, SAX reads the XML piece by piece, triggering events when it encounters elements, attributes, or text. This makes it suitable for handling large XML files or streaming data because it uses less memory and processes the data quickly. Essentially, SAX acts like a parser that listens to the XML as it reads through and responds to specific parts, enabling developers to extract and work with the data effectively.
