how to search xml by SAX

[eayx]

I used to use DOM and Xpath for search xml file but my xml file have big size.
I think SAX can solve my problem.
I have been trying the example java search xml by SAX in google but it don't have that.
if you have the example source code java for search xml by SAX , please let me know.

Try this. I hope it would help you...
It's from totheriver.com, but my post count is less than 20 and I can't post links so I copy the java code.

import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.List;

import javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException;
import javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser;
import javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory;

import org.xml.sax.Attributes;
import org.xml.sax.SAXException;

import org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler;

public class SaxParserExample extends DefaultHandler{

List myEmpls;

private String tempVal;

//to maintain context
private Employee tempEmp;


public SaxParserExample(){
myEmpls = new ArrayList();
}

public void runExample() {
parseDocument();
printData();
}

private void parseDocument() {

//get a factory
SAXParserFactory spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
try {

//get a new instance of parser
SAXParser sp = spf.newSAXParser();

//parse the file and also register this class for call backs
sp.parse("employees.xml", this);

}catch(SAXException se) {
se.printStackTrace();
}catch(ParserConfigurationException pce) {
pce.printStackTrace();
}catch (IOException ie) {
ie.printStackTrace();
}
}

/**
* Iterate through the list and print
* the contents
*/
private void printData(){

System.out.println("No of Employees '" + myEmpls.size() + "'.");

Iterator it = myEmpls.iterator();
while(it.hasNext()) {
System.out.println(it.next().toString());
}
}


//Event Handlers
public void startElement(String uri, String localName, String qName, Attributes attributes) throws SAXException {
//reset
tempVal = "";
if(qName.equalsIgnoreCase("Employee")) {
//create a new instance of employee
tempEmp = new Employee();
tempEmp.setType(attributes.getValue("type"));
}
}


public void characters(char[] ch, int start, int length) throws SAXException {
tempVal = new String(ch,start,length);
}

public void endElement(String uri, String localName, String qName) throws SAXException {

if(qName.equalsIgnoreCase("Employee")) {
//add it to the list
myEmpls.add(tempEmp);

}else if (qName.equalsIgnoreCase("Name")) {
tempEmp.setName(tempVal);
}else if (qName.equalsIgnoreCase("Id")) {
tempEmp.setId(Integer.parseInt(tempVal));
}else if (qName.equalsIgnoreCase("Age")) {
tempEmp.setAge(Integer.parseInt(tempVal));
}

}

public static void main(String[] args){
SaxParserExample spe = new SaxParserExample();
spe.runExample();
}

}
