[Federica Legger <fe...@cselt.it>]

Hi everybody,
    I'm afraid I'll bother you with a dummy question but I'm a fresher...What is a parser and what do you use it for?

A parser is the piece of program that splits something (in this case an XML
document) up into pieces and recognizes them.

Usually the parser will be used in a manner, where it then either delivers
the XML document in another form to the program using it, or asks the
program what to do with each bit of XML.
