Hi, Folklore has it that the DOM in memory can take up five to ten times the size of the document file.
The alternative is, of course, SAX. But programming for SAX is not easy. Another alternative, which I like more and more, is the dom4j (www.dom4j.org) ElementHandler idea. This gives you a chance to erase portions of the tree during the parse, when you are done with them.
