I've just started using Xerces and I'm using SAX2XMLReader to parse a
~250MB xml file. In the startElement function of my content handler I
need to compare localname e.g. if (localname == "something"). I know I
can't use == but I can't figure out what to use. Can anyone point me in
the right direction?
This is probably the most-asked question on the list, so you can search the
archives for XMLString::transcode() to find lots of information.
The most efficient thing to do is to construct static strings at compile
time, if you can. Take a look at the constants in
src/xercesc/util/XMLUni.cpp for some examples.
The next most efficient thing to do, if you will only know the set of
strings you're looking for at run-time, is to use a local code page
transcoder to convert your strings from the local code page to UTF-16
strings. For that, you can use one of the overloads of
XMLString::transcode(). Once you've done that, you can use XMLString::equals().
