Hi Matt, As Dean says, RequestBuilder would return the string much faster. However I would be worried that trying to do the sort of queries you mentioned against raw text data would also be slow, or building some complex data structures from it client side against which to run them may be a) slow to build and b) slow to query.
Have you dismissed the idea of loading all your router config data into a database and having the client make specific queries of interest against that instead? regards gregor On Oct 13, 10:30 pm, "Dean S.
