Simple API for XML (SAX)

Simple API for XML (SAX) is a method for processing XML data that reads the document sequentially, triggering events (like starting or ending a tag) as it encounters different parts. Instead of loading the entire document into memory, SAX processes it on-the-fly, making it efficient for large files or streaming data. Developers write handlers for these events to extract or act on specific information. It's useful when quick, memory-efficient parsing is needed, and it provides a straightforward way to interpret XML documents without complex setup.
