[jdom-interest] JDOM comparison with DOM

[abisheks]

Hello All,

I wrote a simple Java program that can build a DOM object or a JDOM Object
on a XML file of size 8 MB.

I found that the time taken to build a DOM object is lesser that the time
taken to build a JDOM Object.
But the memory utilized by JDOM is far less than DOM.

However, the documentation of JDOM suggested that the JDOM operates faster
than DOM ( at par with SAX ).

Why am I getting results that are different from what the JDOM documentation
sugguests ?

Both the source and the binary of my application is attached with this mail.

usage :

to build DOM:
java Compare <filename.xml> 1

to build JDOM
java Compare <filename.xml> 2

Here are the results which I got

C:\abhishek\app>java Compare test.xml 1
inside compare
Xml file to be parsed : test.xml
inside build Dom
Time taken to build Dom: 8212
Memory used to build Dom: 11190984

C:\abhishek\app>java Compare test.xml 2
inside compare
Xml file to be parsed : test.xml
inside build JDom
Time taken to build JDom: 15312
Memory used to build JDom: 6084888

regards,
Abhishek.
