Re: [Vtd-xml-users] Random Access Proposal (take 2)

[Jimmy Z. <cra...@co...>]

Rodrigo, in one of the early emails you mentioned that
your app sometimes keeps thousands of those nodes (or context),
how do you tell them apart? There got to be some data
structures to store those context info, right?
What if it is implemented such that
1. those contexts/nodes are stored in a linear buffer, which
is more space efficient than allocating individual objects
2. You can address those nodes by using an integer, sort
like a VTD record...
would you consider the design outlined above can be useful
to your app?
