* Similar to [SAX](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_API_for_XML), RapidJSON provides a event sequential access parser API (`GenericReader`). It also provides a generator API (`GenericWriter`) which consumes the same set of events.

* DOM (Document Object Model) style API
* Similar to [DOM](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Document_Object_Model) for HTML/XML, RapidJSON can parse JSON into a DOM representation (`GenericDocument`), for easy manipulation, and finally stringify back to JSON if needed.
* The DOM style API (`GenericDocument`) is actually implemented with SAX style API (`GenericReader`). SAX is faster but sometimes DOM is easier. Users can pick their choices according to scenarios.
