Question

I do a trading study evaluating various XML parsing techniques for a large system. I consider the analytical and actual relative performance (space and time) on several platforms (iOS, Linux, OS X, Windows). My current list of methods and libraries for evaluating candidates is as follows:

• Sax
  • NSXMLParser (iOS)
• Document Object Model
  • System.Xml.XmlDocument (.NET)
• Pull parsing
  • System.Xml.XmlReader (.NET)
  • XmlLite: small and fast XML parser for native C ++
• Data binding
  • Java XML Binding API (JAXB)
  • XML Schema Definition Tool (.NET)
• XML as a data type
  • Integrated Language Query (LINQ) in XML (.NET)
• Virtual Token Descriptor (VTD)
