My guess would be much bigger.
Try this
<cfsavecontent variable="myXml">
<root>
<person>
<firstName>Dale</firstName>
<lastName>Fraser</lastName>
</person>
</root>
</cfsavecontent>
<cfdump var="#myXml#" />
<cfdump var="#xmlParse(myXml)#" />
The way CF holds that in memory there is a lot of meta data, thus bigger
than a pure string, even though xml is verbose.

Subject: [cfaussie] Is XML bigger before or after XmlParse
Hi guys
Is XML bigger or smaller after XmlParse? I would guess that it is
bigger because CF has had to convert it into struct/array type objects
within objects etc etc.
The reason I ask is because recently my inbox exploded due to an error
on the server which resulted in error emails being send out and the
error just so happened to be on a page where there was a large XML
object (I output all available variables/scopes to the error email in
order to have the best chance of diagnosing / repeating errors). I was
just wondering was the email so big because the XML had be parsed?
I'm now going to have to find some way of removing all XML objects
from each scope before dispatching an error email... any ideas?
I was trying to work out the answer to my first question by looking
for ways to establish the size of a variable before and after XmlParse
however I haven't yet found a way to find out a variables size. Does
anyone know how to do this? e.g. foo.howBigAmI()
Cheers
Matthew
