[jdom-interest] JDOM vs electric

[Dennis Sosnoski]

Hi Graham,

When you update the page, I'd appreciate it if you'd add a link to my 
benchmarks as well (either that, or at least take out the line about 
being glad to link to other benchmarks).

For more representative results you should also look at doing a couple 
of things differently in your test case. If EXML+ 4.0 still discards 
whitespace sequences (in violation of the XML spec) you should use a 
test document which does not include any extra whitespace. You should 
also use something other than Xerces 1 as the parser for the JDOM test, 
since Xerces 1 shows very poor performance on small documents (Xerces 2 
is better). Finally, you should include dom4j as a comparison, since 
dom4j is considerably more mature than JDOM and includes a number of 
performance optimizations.
