Yes, It is possible with the DOM and SAX to parse the XML having below representation. With the SAX, you can override startElement, endElement, characters etc., APIs to parse the XML.Refer to the SAX documentation for more information on SAX APIs.
Also, with the DOM, the input XML will still be retained unless you perform some changes to the DOM tree in memory and save the changes to file. If the parsing involves only READ operation, I prefer SAX. If it involves both READ and WRITE, DOM is the correct choice Hope that helps.

I would like to use SAX to parse it but retain the original XML to send elsewhere. Is this possible? Thank you
