Description

XML::Twig is a module designed for efficient processing of XML.

XML::Twig offers tree as well as stream based processing. It allows loading only parts of the document in order to keep memory requirements to a minimum.

XML::Twig is very Perlish: fast, efficient and it offers many different ways to perform a task.

Why use XML::Twig?

• you need to do complex processing of huge documents, fast
• XML::Simple is not enough for you but you don't like XSLT and DOM
• you like the interface

Why NOT use XML::Twig?

• you can live with the constraints of the DOM API and you want to be able to access XML data bases in the future
• XML::Simple works for you
• you don't like the interface

Additional information

You can get more information in the documentation., or in the tutorial, a Quick Reference is also available. Kip Hampton also wrote about it in Using XML::Twig on xml.com.

Personal Notes

I use XML::Twig a lot ;--)

It might have some problems with mod_perl, I have not tested it in that environment

Suggestion, bug reports, comments welcome!
