Difference SAXParserFactory XMLReaderFactory. Which one to choose?

[terminatorx]

Both of them seem to have the same purpose (create a XMLReader).Some Tutorials contain the one, some the other.SAXParserFactory:

• http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/javax/xml/parsers/SAXParserFactory.html
• seems to be more configurable
• more boiler-plate code
• officially supported api

example code:\[code\]// SAXParserFactorySAXParserFactory factory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();SAXParser parser = factory.newSAXParser();XMLReader reader = parser.getXMLReader();reader.parse(new InputSource("document.xml"));\[/code\]XMLReaderFactory:

• http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/org/xml/sax/helpers/XMLReaderFactory.html
• two lines less code
• less configurable
• comunity supported and comes with no waranty

example code:\[code\]// XMLReaderFactoryXMLReader xmlReader = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader();xmlReader.parse(new InputSource("document.xml"));\[/code\]question:Are these the main differences or are there some i've overseen.Which one should you choose?
