XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a structured language, which means that an XML file can describe exactly how data can be organized or arranged. Java has couple of features built in for working with XML files. First we have DOM XML Parser witch is the slowest of them all, but the easiest. Next we have SAX XML Parser whitch is much more memory efficient, but it's a bit harder. For marshalling/unmarshalling your java Objects there's JAX-B. Really nice API! You should take a look at this. For those who are interested I've also added a simple example of how to find elements in XML with XPATH.

SAX XML Parser
SAX parser works differently then DOM parser, it does not load any XML document into memory, instead the SAX parser uses a callback function. As a result that this gives you a better performance.

DOM XML Parser
The DOM parser is the easiest to use Java Parser. After loading the XML Document into memory, it is able to parse the document. But you have to keep in mind that when you load the entire XML Document in to memory there is a performance hit.
