That somewhat negates the point of IsXML as I understand it. > If you notice you are running the XMLParse function first in your older > code > but have left it out in your newer code. Yes, that's because in CFMX 6.1 the only way I can tell if the string is XML is to parse it. The whole point of IsXML as I read the docs is so that I don't have the overhead of actually having to parse the string to tell whether or not it is valid XML therefore reducing the overheads in the code. At the point where my code is running, I only need to know whether the string is Valid XML or not so I can store choose to store it in the DB or not. IsXML is supposed to be a lightweight way of doing this but it seems to be inconsistent with the results of XMLParse.
