XML Parser Performance..

Does anyone have any relationship data between XML Parsing (using the built in spec Parser) and specific CES devices We are looking for data based on the parsing and handling the parsed xml stream, such as dynamically creating menus, pop up messages, dynamic playlist navigation, game engine datasets etc. Our SAX implementation and DOM implementations are multi-format compatible but we are looking to verify performance at this time before giving up on the built in spec parser.

Any one doing this kind of dynamic work already and willing to share their experiences

Thanks,

Denny B.

    Are you saying you implemented an XML parser in ECMAScript and you are thinking of using it instead of the built-in XML engine That would not be good for performance.

    HI Peter,

     This is very good to know as well.  I think that is a good rule of thumb even if using the built in parser is: The XML text after parsing could result in dynamic generation of objects that take up more memory then the XML text itself; for example game questions, dynamic navigation etc. 

    Thanks

    A lot of people are using the XMLParser object successfully with little performance issues. There are some snags with handling asynchronous parsing and limited use of xpath axes - but, those are fairly easily overcome. Any specific questions

    I would recommend you try very hard to use the built-in one. Using your own could lead to poor performnace issues when loading large DOMs (either missing ticks, or running out of memory).

    Yes we have implemented an XML parser for cross compatibility (BD-J, Netblender, and HDi)
