All Implemented Interfaces:

SAXEngine
```
public class SAXBuilderEngine
extends Object
implements SAXEngine
```
Builds a JDOM document from files, streams, readers, URLs, or a SAX InputSource instance using a SAX parser. This Engine is built by the SAXBuilder based on the state of the SAXBuilder when the engine was produced. It is not possible to reconfigure the engine once built, but it can be reused many times (though not concurrently). This makes it the fastest way to process many multitudes of XML documents (if those documents are all parsed the same way). If you want to process in multiple threads you can safely have one SAXBuilderEngine in each thread on the condition that:
1. The JDOMFactory is thread-safe (the JDOM-supplied JDOMFactories are)
2. There is no XMLFilter given to the SAXBuilder, or, if there is, then it is thread-safe.
3. If you have a custom XMLReaderJDOMFactory that it supplies a new instance of an XMLReader on each call (the JDOM-supplied ones all do).
4. If you have a custom SAXHandlerFactory that it supplies a new instance of a SAXHanfler on each call (the JDOM-supplied one does)

    This builds a document from the supplied Reader. It's the programmer's responsibility to make sure the reader matches the encoding of the file. It's often easier and safer to use an InputStream rather than a Reader, and to let the parser auto-detect the encoding from the XML declaration.
