Building Further on SAX

SAXON is a JAVA class library built on SAX that provides additional services:

• It allows you to provide separate handlers for each element type

• It supplies context information (parent, preparent, and so on)

• It allows you to associate different output streams with individual elements or types

The standard element handlers allow you to do the following:

• Copy an element unchanged to the output

• Skip an element

• Replace start and end tags

It is clear that this class library is aimed at XML to XML or HTML conversions.
