Xsl

[sandhya_85]

Hi,
I have a very huge XML whose size is around 10MB. I need to pick-up certain fields from this XML and form a text file of some predefined format. Currently i am using XSL to do the transformation. This transformation becomes very complex when I have to too many nodes having too many dependencies or relations with other nodes within the XML. I want to know if there is any other way by which i can achieve the tranformation. If so plz help me with that.
Thanks in advance
Sandhya

When you use XSL, although it is better structured, you pay for the overhead of setting up the DOM structure.

Possible solutions include:
Loading the XML into a DB and using SQL to do the queries.
Breaking the XML file into smaller files.
Using a forward only xml parsing tool to grab fields as oppose to using xslt, eg Xerces

What do you mean by dependencies and relations in the XML? Can you abstract a small example?
