Hello I'm looking for a generic way to transform large XML files - possibly 1 gig and more. As you understand my biggest concerns are memory usage and performance. I just h ave tried the command line tool Xalan.exe and it quite looks like it loads the whole xml - I'm not sure what for, but I expect that it parses the xml in the framework of DOM. Is it possible to use a SAX based xml parser for the XSLT transformation in xalan, or something like this? Also I have read that "it's not recommended to use XSLT on big XML files" - haven't found a meaningful explanation though. What do you think about it? Are there any other alternative ways for generic xml transformations which sattisfy my needs (big xmls)? Thanks Anton
