I'm not sure I understand what you mean by this. Since the same underlying scanner technology runs the SAX parsers and the DOM parsers and builders, they have the same requirements vis-a-vis the input stream. > So, I would like to be able to parse an input of any length > --AND-- have the result end up in a DOM tree for easy manipulation. > I would like to do this without having to pick apart half of the > Xerces library, if possible. You can only do this if your machine has an infinite amount of memory, which is clearly impossible. So, I still don't understand why the the DOMBuilder won't work for why and why you think SAX is the cure.
