parser
Java
A module that reads in XML data from an input source and breaks it into chunks so that your program knows when it is working with a tag, an attribute, or element data. A nonvalidating parser ensures that the XML data is well formed but does not verify that it is valid. See also validating parser.
Enterprise Search
A program that interprets documents that are added to the enterprise search data store. The parser extracts information from the documents and prepares them for indexing, search, and retrieval.
