To parse stream you need an event-based parser (SAX support) and not a 
tree based parser (like DOM), because a tree-based parser need to have 
the complete document to build the tree in memory.
Sax based parsing send events during parsing regarding opening/closing 
tags, contents, etc and can thus parse a stream (potentially infinite).

In Java, Xerces support both mode for example.

I hope this helps,
