[jdev] Help parsing incremental XML

[JD Conley]

That sort of parsing is the basis of XMPP/Jabber.  In many cases SAX and
DOM parsers do require the whole document.  But there are parsers that
will parse a stream as it comes in.  I'm not sure how it's usually done
in Java -- I'm a .NET guy myself -- but there are a few open source Java
Jabber libraries available that you can look at.  The list of the most
complete/popular libraries is here:
http://www.jabber.org/software/libraries.php

Are you using Jabber for your project?  If not, you should check into
it.  It will allow you to send your application's XML as payload in
Jabber stanzas and will handle the routing, authentication, and all the
particulars you probably don't want to worry about.
