The JAXP APIs
The main JAXP APIs are defined in the
javax.xml.parsers
package. That package contains two vendor-neutral factory classes:SAXParserFactory
andDocumentBuilderFactory
that give you aSAXParser
and aDocumentBuilder
, respectively. TheDocumentBuilder
, in turn, creates DOM-compliantDocument
object.The factory APIs give you the ability to plug in an XML implementation offered by another vendor without changing your source code. The implementation you get depends on the setting of the
javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory
andjavax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory
system properties. The default values (unless overridden at runtime) point to the reference implementation.The remainder of this section shows how the different JAXP APIs work when you write an application.
