[Biojava-l] SAX, DOM, XPath and Flat files

[Dmitry Repchevsky]

Hello!

Actually there is also a StAX parser (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StAX) 
which is faster when  SAX and allows writing.
In JDK 6 apart of StAX there is JAXB which is a perfect combination to 
parse a huge files.
You can go through the XML fie using StAX until the element you are 
interested in and unmarshall it using JAXB to POJO object.

Cheers,

Dmitry
