parsing recursive XML with SAX

The last couple days I tried to parse a XML file but I got no success. Im using SAX parser but the XML is recursive and I don't know you to control de parsing.

The XML is quite extense, but below you can see a sample of how it is.

<root>
  <prop1>teste</prop1>
  <items>
     <item>
        <prop1>teste1</prop1>
        <items>         
          <item>开发者_如何学Go;
             <prop1>teste1.1</prop1>
             <items null />
          </item>
        </items>
     </item>
     <item>
       <prop1>teste1</prop1>
       <items null />
     </item>
  </items>
</root>

I don't know how to handle the loop inside the startElement and the endElement methods. Any help would be cool... thanks in advance.
