xml parsing using dom
A persistent DOM (PDOM) implementation will be a nice solution for your
problem. With PDOM you should be able to parse an XML document once,
store its parsed state, index the document and access it using the DOM
API, without having the entire document in memory. There are a few
implementations around, including ours (Ipedo).

Good luck,

Always keep it in the DOM tree. Avoid parsing it as much as possible...
the XML serialisation format is a nightmare with all that
delimited-sequences-of-characters stuff that requires running along the
whole thing with a state machine to make any sense of it all, so avoid
it!
