SAX can be used only for a sequential processing of an XML document whereas DOM can be used for a random processing of XML docs.

SAX uses call back mechanism and uses event-streams to read chunks of XML data into the memory in a sequential manner. DOM uses a tree representation of the underlying XML document and facilitates random access/manipulation of the underlying XML data.


SAX can be used only for reading XML documents and not for the manipulation of the underlying XML data whereas DOM can be used for both read and write of the data in an XML document.
