Testování SAX parserů

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to compare performance of the various, mainly SAX, XML parsers with streaming approach to XML document parsing. The first part introduces the issue of the XML document parsing by various approaches. The known streaming APIs such as SAX, StAX and XMLPull API and their applications (including XML document creation) are presented. Next chapter describes individual implementations of presented APIs, their attributes and limitations. The further part of this study describes the differences between implementation environments of testing applications considering the variety of tested input data and shows a comparison of each parser performance. The outcome of the performed study is a comparison of throughput of APIs and their implemented parsers, considering memory requirements.
