StAX I would agree with these main choices. While you could use data binding (xmlbeans, jaxb2), that seems bit heavy-weight route since you don't care about type mappings etc, so most of the work would be overhead. SAX could of course be used, but I don't know of many benefits over Stax for this use case. > > XSLT is really the simplest but my bosses might not > like the memory > requirements so StAX would a good alternative > > The URL provided by Brennan is excellent on StAX: > http://java.sun.com/webservices/docs/1.6/tutorial/doc/SJSXP2.html In addition, if you decide to go Stax route (which may make sense if you will eventually get bigger files -- 1 M is still with about any solution, unless there's lots of concurrent processing), you may want to check out stax-utils project https://stax-utils.dev.java.net/ since 'raw' Stax API is bit of PITA to use for many tasks. For copying xml, using Event API it is quite straight-forward. You could also try out StaxMate that I wrote (http://woodstox.codehaus.org/StaxMate) which has support for accessing xml content in streaming way, but still allowing hierarchic traversal (in forward direction). Documentation is bit sparse, best way may be to read entries at (http://www.cowtowncoder.com/blog/blog.html). I should write sample code for this particular use case though, since it seems to be kind of recurring question (usually on stax_builders list though), and it should also be easy to add sub-tree pass-through copy operation, so that this particular task would be just couple of lines total. -+ Tatu +- __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
