in reply to Node Parser too slow?

This doesn't answer your question directly, but I think it is relevant nevertheless.

Actually, this is a job for XSLT, the XML transformation language. The idea is that one describes a transformation of XML into "something else" which can be either XML, HTML, plain text, basically whatever you like.

If the XSLT modules on CPAN are worth their salt, they should be quite efficient, so maybe this is an occasion not to reinvent the wheel ;-)

XSLT is a W3C standard since a couple of years now, so the technology is quite mature.

Hope this helps, -gjb-

    My XSLT experience is fairly light so I'm keen to find out about real world applications. In the original poster's code he would encounter an element like this:

    <child id="2">435</child>

    [download]

    At this point his code would then (recursively) parse down into the file called '435.xml'. I realise recursive processing is no problem for XSLT, but how would you load in another file and process it?

      Oops, I should have read the code more carefully. I thought it was just an XML file that was converted to HTML without recursion.

      Recursion complicates matters to the point that you have to do major hacking in order to get this to work with XSLT if it is possible at all.

      Thanks for pointing this out, -gjb-
