Moving to XML

More about parsers [ii] types

• Validating parsers
  • Read the DTD (or schema)
  • Read the document
  • If the document isn't valid according to the DTD, report this
  • Good if you're making sure your document conforms to the dialect standard
• Non validating parsers
  • Don't read the DTD (or schema)
  • Read the document
  • Will still throw an error if the document has bad syntax
  • Good if you just want to parse XML quickly
