[jdom-interest] jdom memory usage  Art M Solano cloud09 at
zdnetonebox.com Wed Sep 6 10:58:15 PDT 2000   I am new to the
JDOM world (standard intelligence disclaimer).  In the "Java and
XML" book by Brett Mclaughlin, it states that:  "JDOM can
perform at a level comparable to SAX, while still allowing a
tree structure to be kept in memory (through the JDOM document
object), and while still remaining more lightweight than DOM."
What is meant by performance of JDOM vrs SAX?  I gather that
JDOM can retrieve XML data at the same speed of SAX.  What is
mean by more lightweight?  How does JDOM memory usage compare to
DOM?  Are there any figures for the current comparisons?  We are
considering using JDOM for our data transfers, whereby several
gigs of xml may be transferred.  Due to this size, DOM is not an
option.  We like JDOM api much better than SAX.    Art Solano
