SAX : Java Glossary

SAX stands for (Simple API for XML), a parsing technique for XML. It is part of Sun’s JAXP classes for manipulating XML. It hands you each field one at a time as it parses. In contrast, DOM creates a tree.

The name SAX also refters to a protocol I proposed in 1985 to replace FTP for file transfer. It uses far fewer acks so generates less network congestion, and less delay. It’s key features are never throwing away good packets received and restart after a disconnect.
