Avoid Repetitive XML Parsing with VTD-XML
As discussed in "Simplify XML processing with VTD-XML," to date one of underlying assumptions in XML application development is that an XML document must be parsed before anything else can be done with it. In other words, the processing logic of XML applications can't start without parsing. Frequently considered a threat to database performance, XML parsing is usually many times slower than other XML operations such as XPath evaluation. When those applications perform multiple read-only access to XML data that don't change very often, wouldn't it be nice to able to eliminate the overhead of associated repetitive parsing?
