// TSAXParser is a subclass of TXMLParser, it is a wraper class to      //

// SAX (Simple API for XML) is an event based interface, which doesn't  //
// maintain the DOM tree in memory, in other words, it's much more      //
// efficient for large document.                                        //
//                                                                      //
// TSAXParserCallback contains a number of callback routines to the     //
// parser in a xmlSAXHandler structure. The parser will then parse the  //
// document and call the appropriate callback when certain conditions   //
// occur.                                                               //
