Re: Streaming vs. progressive XML parsing

[Stefan A Letz]

Petar,

I see no problem with streaming XML data into the Xerces SAX / DOM parser. For my purposes, I implemented a new BinInputStream along with a new InputSource. The InputSource creates an instance of this BinInputStream for the parser, and the BinInputStream provides the parser with XML data as it is available.

I'm not sure what you refering to with "progressive parsing", could you please explain that to me?

Best regards,

Stefan.
