I would say both are just as easy to learn, but with DOM I can also presumably validate my document once it's in memory. Maybe I can do that with SAX as well, not sure. Anyways the following book has an up-to-date chapter on Java and XML http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-Java-7-Apress/dp/1430239093/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1326650427&sr=8-7 even though android AFAIK uses Java 6 this reference should be good enough for my purposes.
