Hi:
If you have worked with XSL/XSLT, you probably like or love it. However, I am wondering if this is one big shortcoming for xsl. When processing huge XML files (1,10,100MB depending on the cituation), the resource usuage and performance problem can become so bad. To me, this originated from the fact that XML has to be parsed in WHOLE before going thru those templates of xsl.
I wonder if this is possible to parse xml in part of some sort of serial fashion so the transformation can be performed like a production line. This would at least save some resources. I am not sure at all if this is feasible.
Of course, you can always chop XML into pieces and do the xslt one by one. But that's quite a different approach and doesn't always work.
Am I making sense here?
