Re: [egov] Re: Need advice regarding XML performance issues

["Chiusano Joseph" <chiusano_joseph@bah.com>]

Michael,

Thanks for your inquiry. As I'm sure you're very much aware, the term
"performance" is a very broad term, and can involve both hardware and
software. In terms of XML, one consideration is the technique used to
parse an XML document - for example, if one uses W3C DOM (Document
Object Model) - which is a "pull" parser, they *may* possibly experience
a lesser degree of performance then if, for example, they use a "push"
parser such as SAX (Simple API for XML).

If you would like to convey more specifics about your system and what
you are doing, and as much information as possible regarding products,
parsing techniques, file sizes, etc., then I believe you'll be able to
receive a response based on your specific situation.

Kind Regards,
Joe Chiusano
