Chapter 4 XML Processing

197

XML processing? The chapter further helped clarify when it makes sense to

implement an object centric processing model or a document centric processing

model. 

These decisions determine the developer's choice among the different XML 

processing APIs and implementations. Furthermore, the chapter described the per 

formance trade offs among these different processing techniques and compared

performance with functionality and ease of use. It indicated situations where and

why one technique might be superior to another and helped delineate the rationale

for these choices.
