Kxml Parser Example

In this example we use "catching parsing events" way to parse the xml. Through 'catching parsing events', the parser traverses the XML data and issues callbacks to a previously registered event listener whenever it encounters particular structures in the data. For example, when the parser encounters an opening tag such as <employee> then the event listener would receive an event notifying it of the encounter and pass it any necessary information. A parser implements such a strategy is called a push parser because the parser is "pushing" the event to a listener. 

The Entire Application is as follows:
