Tim, we have been generally disappointed at the speed of parsing an XML file
of any significance. I like the ideas behind it, but I think most of the
more widely-used XML parsers suffer from some speed issues.
I have recently become interested in less-robust XML parsers. I am assuming
that less is more (faster). Of course, that assumption could be horribly
askew. Specifically, I want to look into:
(NanoXML) http://nanoxml.sourceforge.net/
(MinimalXML) http://www.docuverse.com/smldev/minxmlspec.html
This wouldn't satisfy your XSLT needs, but as far as shuttling data around,
I want a lean/mean, small and fast XML parser.
