[Exist-open] Bleasdale on handling large XML documents with VTD-XML

[Joe W. <jo...@gm...>]

Hi all,

On the recent topic of "bulk importing", I thought some people here
might be interested in this post by Alex Bleasdale about
parsing/splitting a huge XML file - presumably for import into an XML
database:

Handling Large XML Documents with VTD-XML
http://blog.msbbc.co.uk/2011/04/java-handling-large-xml-documents-with.html

Here's a working example of how VTD-XML can be used to parse a large
(~330Mb) XML file. In this example, I'm using AutoPilotHuge to match
all page elements in the file. For each element encountered (there are
10s of thousands), the element data will be written to a file using
the element's index within the document as a filename...

Cheers,
Joe
