There would be a little speed difference from not having to check for defaulted attributes. The half-baked parser might also be able to directly point to the xml input without having to copy it, i.e. use start-length pointers for the tags and attrs. This would be more cumbersome if there was less of a one to one correspondence between the raw xml and what you got after expansion and defaulting. > There will be a small size difference, but it will > be less exciting than you think -- the code to detect the prologue and > load the module will make up much of the difference. Detecting the prologue and loading an alternate module takes a few lines of Java code. Prologue processing, entity expansion and attribute defaulting take up a little more than that in the parsers that I've looked at. > doing the > well-formedness checks for legal characters can take up a lot of code, > but you're supposed to do that anyway (I cheated with AElfred). I'm not sure I understand. Could you elaborate on how you cheated :-? Thanks, Gabe Beged-Dov www.jfinity.com xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
