Hello, I am a newbie to the xml world and would very much appreciate your opinion regarding my question:
I am in the process of choosing a Java-Based xml parser that gives high performance. I have studied the relative advantages and disadvantages of DOM and SAX implementations in various parsers. I came across an article today (at the sun's website) that spelled out the virtues - essentially fast coding and execution of using XML Data binding. My question is: Does XML data binding necessarily turn in higher performance than that provided by a Java-based XML parser like Xerces (Or XP)? How widely and in what situations is Data-binding used (in place of using and XML parser?). If data binding is indeed a fast way to process xml documents, does it mean that it will obviate (in some situations) the need for an xml parser - (in the java environment that is). Thanks very much for your help/opinion in this regard.
