Hi all, I have seen that in the last time the XML/XSLT technologies are very much promoted as beeing the future in the configuration field at least. I have tried to parse a very small XML file using XML::Simple but I found that it works very very slow. It took more than a half of a second just to get and print the data from a very small file (less 2 kb). I am wondering how much time it could take if I would need to parse more XML files, and filter them using XSLT...
I have tried to load the same information from a MySQL database and with the whole connection overhead it took less than that. I also tried to parse that information from a .csv file, and it took 10 times less than using an XML file. I've seen that XML::Simple uses the expat C library, and I guess that it might be the core of more XML parsers, and I am almost sure that this library causes the slowness, so probably all of them have the same problem. Is there a faster solution for parsing XML files with Perl? Is there another library than XML::Simple which works faster, or a trick to make XML::Simple work faster? Thank you.
