Need Attributes From A InputStream

Hello,

I am receiving a InputStream which is a XML file. In the xml file there are some attributes I want to grab, to put into a DB.
I did not want to write the XML to File and parse it from there. I would like to parse the inputstream, grab some attributes I need and move along.

I do not know if I should create a DOM Object, and work through it, or use a SAX Parser (and if so, which one?).

Could someone possibly assist me in a direction for this. Below is the XML (I wrote it to disk) that I will receive via the InputStream.

I would like to grab the "width", "height", "copyright" and "colorSpace", "transparency", "ditherAlgorithm" which come from two differrent elements.
