Re: Fastest XML parser that can run under ActivePerl on Windows?

If your XML limitations are known and your after a pure Perl parser I've found XML::Tiny useful. I've also written a tiny parser of my own very similar to XML::Tiny. Mine is faster and returns results in a format similar to XML::Simple (less nesting of data, which I think accounts for the speed up over XML::Tiny).

My concern isn't about pure Perl, but being able to install it via ppm out of the box. :) XML::Tiny isn't bad, but XML::Simple + XML::Parser is still 50% faster.	[reply]

My concern isn't about pure Perl, but being able to install it via ppm out of the box. The Active State repository isn't the only place to get ppm modules. See this page: http://ppm4.activestate.com/ If you are using the gui I/F to PPM, got into Edit \| preferences and there is a way to add other repositories. Sometimes you will find something that isn't in the default ActiveState repository (I've gotten crypt modules from U of Winnipeg before). I don't know for sure whether this will help you on your XML quest or not, but thought it was worth a mention.	[reply]

I'm already using all these, but you're right, it was worth a mention. :)	[reply]
