Among all the above mapping techniques, JAVA mappings improves the performance and are

preferred as they gets executed on J2EE engine directly.

JAVA mapping can be done in two ways:
1. DOM Parsing
2. SAX Parsing
Differences between SAX and DOM parser at a glance
SAX DOM
1. Parses node by node
2. Doesnt store the XML in
memory
3. We cant insert or delete a node
4. Top to bottom traversing
1. Stores the entire XML document
into memory before processing
2. Occupies more memory
3. We can insert or delete nodes
4. Traverse in any direction.
