Hi,
Maybe I am missing something but what difference would be caused in performance if an option/property was added to "not expand character entity values" and then Xerces instead of building up hash array of replacement values just wrote out the orignal entity reference? or if required when writing in internal entity values to stringpool just rewrote entity reference.
Thanks,
Una

I think it is more than bonus feature. I see that there is a lot of
users
which want to know where is character reference used. This feature is
very
important to tools which provide tree and textual editing of xml
documents.
E.g. when you write some xml document (in text editor), use any tool for
manipulation with this document (action: replace, select, ...) and after
this you want to edit it in text editor again, you want see document
with
same style (must be readable - so not replaced all ', ", <, >, & with
entity
references etc.).
You are right ... repformance, but do you think that this problem is
unsolvable? I don't think so. We want to help you with this.
Thanks.
Libor
