I want to convert a huge XML file into an inMemory Hash. I tried using XML::Simple. But its taking huge memory space and time to convert it into Hash. While loading a XML file of 300MB its taking more memory space and time. Is there any better method to load this XML to memory ? Is there any benchmarks available ?
If your file is huge and you want it in memory then you must expect it to take take a while to parse and occupy a huge memory space. Almost anything is better than XML::Simple, but no module can easily make your data any smaller. You should reassess your solution to see if you can work with only part of the data in memory. I suggest you look at XML::Twig for processing XML in chunks. XML::LibXML is also very good and you may find it faster.
