Hi, I'm a relative newcomer to the world of XML. I'm currently working on an embedded Linux box with about 400MHz CPU and 32MB of RAM. I am considering using XML for my network messaging format, but I'm concerned about the resource consumption (especially memory) of the XML parser.
I don't need any particularly fancy XML features - the only reason I'm considering XML is because we would like the messages to be easily interpreted by a variety of platforms and programming languages. Is it completely insane to consider LibXML for this environment? Can LibXML be "scaled down" in a way to fit it onto such a small device? I was reading on the web but I haven't found any specific documentation yet. I've seen a commercial XML parser/toolkit out there that claims to be well-suited for embedded devices, but I'm hesitant to buy a license when perhaps LibXML will work. Thanks, Adam _______________________________________________ xml mailing list, project page http://xmlsoft.org/ [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/xml
