SV: [jdom-interest] Large XML file

[Per Norrman]

Hi,

my experience is that a JDOM document tree is roughly
10 times the size of the XML source. At least that is
my rule-of-thumb.

Given your restrictions, this sounds like a daunting
task for an XSLT processor.

Depending on the nature of the transformation, it may be
possible to do it "programatically" in a streaming mode,
using basic SAX events. This would also be a lot faster.

PS. At least Xalan builds the entire source tree, as far
as I can understand from this
