O Monks - I have a large, existing perl CGI application that I designed so that every time it runs, it has to parse an XML file. Years later, you guessed it: the XML file is getting pretty big, and the overhead for parsing is getting to be annoying. I'm thinking that I might be able to boost performance by using a binary representation of my XML file. (Well, I could also rewrite the app from scratch, but I don't want to do that :-) There seem to be quite a few methods out there for representing XML in binary, of which Fast Infoset seems to be one of the most standard. Unfortunately, I can only seem to find java and C/C++ implementations, and only the java one seems to be open-source. Does anyone know of a perl implementation of Fast Infoset, or some similar binary representation of XML? TIA!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
