I have been using DOM for parsing my small xml docs for sometime.Afer reading about the JAXB (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/javase/index-140168.html), I'm planning to use JAXB instaed of DOM.
Please let me know if this will be a right approach.
Answer
JAXB is not directly comparable to DOM and SAX. The Java DOM and SAX parsing APIs are lower-level APIs to parse XML documents, while JAXB (Java API for XML Binding) is a higher-level API for converting XML elements and attributes to a Java object hierarchy (and vice versa). Implementations of JAXB will most likely use a DOM or SAX parser behind the scenes to do the actual parsing of the XML input data.
Often you'll want to convert the content of an XML document into objects in your Java program. If this is what you want to do, then JAXB will probably be easier to use and you'll need to write less code than when you would be using the DOM or SAX parsing API.
Whether it's the right approach for your case depends on exactly what the functional and technical requirements are for your project.
