The JAXP Process

1. javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance() creates a DocumentBuilderFactory

2. Configure the factory

3. The factory's newBuilder() method creates a DocumentBuilder

4. Configure the builder

5. The builder parses the document and returns a DOM org.w3c.dom.Document object.

6. The entire document is stored in memory.

7. DOM methods and interfaces are used to extract data from this object
