there can be different parser implementations and
if all are implementing the same API then you can
chose implementation that is meeting your needs

there are different tradeoffs involving performance, memory
footprint, and required features (like do you need validating parser),
see this implementation matrix that lists features of each parser
implementing XmlPull API:

    http://www.xmlpull.org/impls.shtml

and choose implementation that is best for you.
