I did a quick test using the CF8 monitor tool to figure out if XML is larger when stored as a String or a XML object. As suspected the XML object is larger but only by about 80 bytes. I was only using a simple XML structure and I would expect this to change when the XML gets more complex.
myXML = "<node>data</node>"; Application.before_myXML = myXML; // 72 bytes Application.after_myXML = XMLParse(myXML); // 152 bytes Cheers, Ross On 22/01/2009, at 10:13 AM, Matthew wrote: > > @charlie: sorry, I think I lead you a little astray with my response. > You are right I did want to know both if the output of parsed XML and > the amount of memory it takes up is large than un-parsed.
