The Simple API for XML (SAX) is an interface that allows your applications to read data in an Extensible Markup Language (XML) document. SAX2 for Windows Embedded CE is the latest version of the SAX for Windows Embedded CE. SAX2 is a publicly-developed standard for event-based parsing of XML documents. This guide, along with the reference material that accompanies it, describes the Microsoft Component Object Model (COM) implementation of the SAX2 standard. The Microsoft SAX2 implementation provides Microsoft® Visual C++® interfaces.

The following table shows the topics that provide more information about deploying SAX2 in the programming environment.

Topic Description

Getting Started with SAX2

Explains the benefits of SAX2 and helps you choose between SAX2 and the XML Document Object Model (DOM). This section also offers ideas for building SAX2 applications.

Sample SaxContentHandlerImpl Code

Contains sample source code necessary for implementing SAX on CE MSXML.

Tutorial: JumpStart for Creating a SAX2 Application with C++

Helps you begin building SAX2 applications immediately. It provides a C++ tutorial for building an events-based parser.
