SAX-style parsers fire events (startElement, text, endElement) without building a full tree — ideal for huge logs or feeds.
Going deeper
In production XML work, Streaming parsers (concept) matters when documents, stylesheets, or apps must stay maintainable across teams and releases—not only in isolated demos.
Common pitfalls
Watch for copy-paste configs, skipping validation or tests, and mixing concerns (structure vs presentation vs behavior) in one layer.
Practice
- Apply one technique from this lesson in the playground.
- Write one interview-style sentence explaining when you would use streaming parsers (concept) on a real project.
