Sax is an event-based parser, DOM is an interface for an internal
representation of a document. Some SAX parsers create a DOM-based
representation automagically for you. There's also pull-based parsers, such
as kXML ( www.enhydra.com <http://www.enhydra.com> ) that might be more
efficient for some applications. Xerces is also a well known and respected
parser.

Hello friends,
im sorry, this is beginner query.
 
I am using COM+ (ms visual c++, com+) to develop an application that
requires to manipulate XML documents. I am however unaware which kind of
parser would be EASIER and efficient to use - dom or sax. Besides could
someone kindly guide me where to get the functions provided by the parsers
and where to get the required documentation.
 
i have only found documentation for python and java on the web.
 
thank you,
