Cut, paste, split, and assemble XML documents with VTD-XML
Despite the wide adoption of the Document Object Model (DOM) and the Simple API for XML (SAX), enterprise developers face the numerous shortcomings of these technologies almost daily. Performance and usability problems aside, DOM and SAX are infamous for their inabilities to efficiently apply changes to XML content. For tasks as simple as changing a text node, DOM and SAX impose the round-trip overhead of parsing and reserialization, making any effort to optimize application performance all but meaningless. As an incremental-update-capable XML-processing API, VTD-XML provides a simple solution that resoundingly eliminates the inefficiency normally associated with XML content change and, along the way, opens up an array of new possibilities that should further free XML from its alleged "slowness." By using code examples, this article shows you some of VTD-XML's new features and how to take advantage of them in your next XML project.
