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

[Andy Yates]

Hi Dmitry,

StAX still has higher memory consumption than SAX (still not as large as 
DOM) but yes it is quite a good parser system & since we're moving 
towards the later versions of Java may be a good idea to use it as our 
standard parser ... if it supports XPath (can't remember off the top of 
my head) :)
