Summary: Slow processing of large xml files freemarker
Key: FREEMARKER-207
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FREEMARKER-207
Project: Apache Freemarker
Issue Type: Bug
Components: engine
Affects Versions: 2.3.29, 2.3.31
Reporter: Gert Van der Voorde
I had a problem when using Freemarker with xml 's containing large content ( >
600KB)
The problem is in the class ElementModel in method getAsTring in package
freemarker.ext.dom.
The number of nodes were high, more then 10 000 and when using String
concatenation as in the following snippet the performance was/is very poor.
{code:java}
@Override
public String getAsString() throws TemplateModelException {
NodeList nl = node.getChildNodes();
String result = "";
for (int i = 0; i < nl.getLength(); i++) {
Node child = nl.item(i);
int nodeType = child.getNodeType();
if (nodeType == Node.ELEMENT_NODE) {
String msg = "Only elements with no child elements can be
processed as text."
+ "\nThis element with name \""
+ node.getNodeName()
+ "\" has a child element named: " +
child.getNodeName();
throw new TemplateModelException(msg);
} else if (nodeType == Node.TEXT_NODE || nodeType ==
Node.CDATA_SECTION_NODE) {
result += child.getNodeValue();
}
}
return result;
} {code}
For a xml file of 600kb this took 6 to 11 seconds to process.
When using a StringBuilder this takes 60 ms.
