To enable efficient application usage of Xerces it would be useful to know when Xerces creates the DOM tree. Is it in parallel with the checking for well formed & valid (would seem to make sense as the DOM parser appears to use the SAX parser)? Or is the tree created once it is confirmed that the XML doc is well formed & valid?
If you choose to use the DOMParser object, Xerces is going to create the DOM while scanning the document ("in parallel", as you say).
If you have concerns about the allocation of the resources, you can choose to use the SAXParser object, that simply invokes callback into your code; this lets you build a custom DOM that can be less resource-hungry
