The latest edition of the Java Developer Connection tech tips by Stuart Halloway is all about XML, featuring an overall introduction and examples showing how to use both SAX and DOM.

In his short introduction , Halloway compares XML to HTML and also to SGML: "if SGML is the 'kitchen sink,' XML is a 'Swiss Army knife.'".

Developing his article around a simple XML example, Halloway shows how to use the SAX2 and DOM APIs from the JAXP package to parse the same document.
