(Frank Coyle) In part 1 of step 4, we looked at SAX and DOM parsers and found that SAX provided a simple way to extract data from streaming XML without incurring the high memory cost of building a DOM tree in memory. Another dimension of SAX is its ability to link handlers to create SAX filter chain
