private static class TreeItemCreationContentHandler extends DefaultHandler {

    private TreeItem<String> item = new TreeItem<>();

    @Override
    public void endElement(String uri, String localName, String qName) throws SAXException {
        // finish this node by going back to the parent
        this.item = this.item.getParent();
    }

    @Override
    public void startElement(String uri, String localName, String qName, Attributes attributes) throws SAXException {
        // start a new node and use it as the current item

        this.item.getChildren().add(item);
        this.item = item;

        String s = String.valueOf(ch, start, length).trim();
        if (!s.isEmpty()) {
            // add text content as new child
            this.item.getChildren().add(new TreeItem<>(s));
