# Bio::SeqIO::bsml\_sax(3pm)

BSML sequence input/output stream using SAX

## 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.
```
