Spitters has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hey.
I need to parse an extremely large XML database. First I want to generate simple ASCII lists of all values of certain elements on various levels in the XML structure. So that's a on-time action and I don't really mind if it takes a while to finish. But, later I also want to be able to receive elements from the database really fast, or find element values real-time and stuff. I don't have any experience with XML modules for Perl, so my questions are:
1) what's the most appropriate XML parser for processing large XML files?
2) can anyone provide some code for basic operations?
Thanks a lot,
Martijn
