public static TreeItem<String> readData(File file) throws SAXException, ParserConfigurationException, IOException {

    SAXParser parser = parserFactory.newSAXParser();
    XMLReader reader = parser.getXMLReader();
    TreeItemCreationContentHandler contentHandler = new TreeItemCreationContentHandler();

    // parse file using the content handler to create a TreeItem representation
    reader.setContentHandler(contentHandler);
    reader.parse(file.toURI().toString());

    // use first child as root (the TreeItem initially created does not contain data from the file)
    TreeItem<String> item = contentHandler.item.getChildren().get(0);
    contentHandler.item.getChildren().clear();
    return item;
}
