<code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">xml.dom.pulldom</span></code> module provides a “pull parser” which can also be222asked to produce DOM-accessible fragments of the document where necessary. The223basic concept involves pulling “events” from a stream of incoming XML and224processing them. In contrast to SAX which also employs an event-driven225processing model together with callbacks, the user of a pull parser is226responsible for explicitly pulling events from the stream, looping over those227events until either processing is finished or an error condition occurs.</p>228<div class="admonition note">229<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>230<p>If you need to parse untrusted or unauthenticated data, see231<a class="reference internal" href="xml.html#xml-security"><span class="std std-ref">XML security</span></a>.</p>232</div>233<div class="versionchanged">234<p><span class="versionmodified changed">Changed in version 3.7.1: </span>The SAX parser no longer processes general external entities by default to235increase security by default.
