Message: [QUOTE="Barry White, post: 559975"] I haven't got the SAX api docs in front of me but I'd be suprised if it restricts you to only files and not something more abstract like an InputStream. If that's the case you could try a StringBufferInputStream or ByteArrayInputStream. Byte array might be better as you could specify the encoding as follows (encoding will be important for an xml parser): String xmlString = ....; ByteArrayInputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream(xmlString.getBytes("iso-8859-1")); ...create SAX parser with specified encoding.
