I can't say for sure, but I think they are based on Xerces and Xalan - which
is pretty fast depending or what you are doing (how complex the xml document
is - how many levels).

You said you were doing this with WDDX, and WDDX is XML. So, if that is
working for you...

That appears to be your answer, if you are going to use all the information
in the XML document in the web service then the pure XML way seems like a
good option. While WDDX is XML not everyone uses it, and be very afraid of
transforming WDDX with XSLT.

Good Luck

Subject: XML within CFMX


How fast are the XML routines within CFMX? I am currently using arrays and
structures to store a big ole data structure for one of my apps. I want to
create an XML document based on this info and store it as XML instead of a
WDDX packet in the DB. What I'm curious about is parsing and using that XML
string within an application.

Does it make sense to take an XML doc from the DB and store it as a client
variable for persistence? And if this XML document was used internally via
the app and was modified and parse very frequently, would there be a
decrease in the performance of parsing arrays,structures and so forth. Are
the array functions that work on an XML doc, as fast as the standard Array
functions?

The XML doc will eventually be shared via web services and I want to get
the application ready to handle the XML docs internally. I'm not sure if
using the XML doc internally (modifying, parsing and re parsing) is a
suitable use of the XML features in CFMX.
