How to parse XML (Fogbugz XML API)?

I am creating an Android application that connects to the Fogbugz XML API (sends a request to the API, receives back an XML file). Right now, I am creating a service that will handle these requests, and parse each in order to access usable information. What would be the best way to do this? If I am getting an inputStream, should I use the SAX parser?

        DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient(); 
    HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet("M开发者_Python百科y URL THAT RETURNS AN XML FILE"); 
    HttpResponse response;
    try {
            response = httpclient.execute(httpget);
            HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity(); 
            InputStream stream =  entity.getContent();
            BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(stream)); 
            String responseString = "";
            String temp;

            while ((temp=bufferedReader.readLine()) != null)
            {
                responseString += temp;
            }

            if (entity != null) { 
                entity.consumeContent(); 
            }

    } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    } 


I suggest that you use some XML DOM library like XOM or Dom4j. It will be much easier for you to work with tree structure than with SAX events. Personally, I use XOM in Foglyn -- FogBugz for Eclipse plugin. You can pass InputStream directly to your SAX/XOM/Dom4j parser, there is no need to build string first. Furthermore, make sure you use correct encoding ... your code is broken in this regard. (When you pass InputStream to your parser, this is handled by parser. In XOM you can use new Builder().build(InputStream) method).

One FogBugz API hint ... when getting details about case, and you don't need events (comments), don't fetch them at all. I.e. don't put events into list of columns.
