XML & DOM programming

Hi,

I'm a programmer on a team. We're all new to XML and using RH linux. I started looking and found libXml2 and Gnome2 as potential things to use.

My question is this, what does a DOM buy me? Can't I get away with just using the libXml2?

Our uses for xml are internal to our program for the most part. We just want to do the following:

take a bunch of data and write in an xml format.

Then at a later point in time, read in xml files and perhaps import them to database tables.

Since libXml2 is capable of traversing nodes, does using a DOM on top of the libxml2 buy me anything of value?

Thanks!
