I just started looking at this right now and conclude:
1.
A) JAXP is an abstraction layer for the standard XML API.
It allows you to plug-in any parser implementation e.g. Xerces, Project X
and interact with it via a standardized API.
B) Project X was/is Sun's implementation of an XML parser.
It is complementary not exclusive to JAXP; in fact when you download JAXP
it comes with Project X as the default underlying implementation.
2. I assume SAX is better because:
A) it is much faster and consumes less memory than DOM
B) you are probably putting the data into a Hashtable ( er.. Set, sorry
Kevin)
so you do not need the DOM representation for node access
