Generalization: A lot depends on how and what you measure. One could always come up with measurement programs to emphasize the particular aspects of a program. So comparing results for different measurement programs make no sense.
On Parsing technology: I did some experiments to compare different parsing technologies few months ago, and you may find the results still relevant. Look at http://www.pankaj-k.net/xpb4j/docs/Measurements-May30/measurements-May30-200 2.html I have not looked at WASP, Axis or JAX-RPC RI performance recently, but when I had done almost a year ago, the result was: Java based WASP > JAX-RPC RI > Axis. I am sure that things would have changed. /Pankaj. > -----Original Message----- > From: Anne Thomas Manes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, February 10, 2003 8:07 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: Axis performance in compare with XRPC (reference > implementation from SUN)! > > > It's not just advertising.
