String str = document.valueOf("/article/title");to
Element root = document.getRootElement();
String str = root.elementText("title");Created a huge performance speedup. This makes sense I guess but after reading the paper on xpath performance in dom4j I would have expected decent performance with xpath. It could be that I just have a small document and if I were recursing a large set doing an expression like */*/author would be much faster than manually iterating.
My question is, with dom4j in which cases is xpath preferable to manually iterating over the document structure?
Thanks, Paul
