1. XMLEventReader: It is used for reading the XML documents.
2. XMLEventWriter: It is used for writing the XML documents.
1. XMLEventReader: It is used for reading the XML documents.
2. XMLEventWriter: It is used for writing the XML documents.
Cursor API:
It acts as ResultSet. Following are the Cursor API classes for reading and writing XML documents:
1. XMLStreamReader: It is used for reading the XML documents.
2. XMLStreamWriter: It is used for writing the XML documents.
1. XMLStreamReader: It is used for reading the XML documents.
2. XMLStreamWriter: It is used for writing the XML documents.
