Since you just want to validate the XML file and don't need to access any data from that you should use SAX. If you use DOM parser it will create the whole document model in memory which is not required in this case and is costly because it needs 1GB of memory
Gopal. "Shanmugasundram T - CTD, To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Chennai." cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Parsing a large XML file. tech.com> 03/25/03 03:51 PM Please respond to xerces-j-user I have a big XML file of size about 1GB. I want to validate that file against a XML Schema and log errors. Should i use SAX or DOM Parser to do this? Please note i want just to call the parser.parse() method which validate the xml file against the XML schema and the ErrorHandler will create the log. So for this which parser will be faster DOM or SAX. thanks, Shunmu --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
