What's Next? (Java & XML, 2nd Edition)

2.5. What's Next?

With some baseline knowledge of XML, you're ready to dive into the Java side of things. In the next chapter, I'll introduce you to SAX, the Simple API for XML. This is ground zero of the Java and XML APIs, and will get you started on seeing how you can use XML in your own Java applications. You'll learn how to read documents, set various options for DTD and schema validation, use namespace processing, and more, and understand when SAX is the right tool for a particular job.
