NAME

Bio::SeqIO::bsml_sax - BSML sequence input/output stream using SAX

SYNOPSIS

 It is probably best not to use this object directly, but rather go
 through the SeqIO handler system. To read a BSML file:

    $stream = Bio::SeqIO->new( -file => $filename, -format => 'bsml');

    while ( my $bioSeqObj = $stream->next_seq() ) {
	# do something with $bioSeqObj
    }

 To write a Seq object to the current file handle in BSML XML format:

    $stream->write_seq( -seq => $seqObj);

 If instead you would like a XML::DOM object containing the BSML, use:

    my $newXmlObject = $stream->to_bsml( -seq => $seqObj);

DEPENDENCIES

In addition to parts of the Bio:: hierarchy, this module uses:

XML::SAX

DESCRIPTION

This object can transform Bio::Seq objects to and from BSML (XML)
flatfiles.
