What is the size of XML documents that can be reliably transformed using
XSLT ?
This question is w.r.t a reporting application that i am writing where, the data is fetched from various sources (like database and ldap etc.), it is put in a xml format and saved. Then we use xsl to transform it into html and serve it to the end user on a web browser. The report data xml file may be huge, ranging from a few hundreds of records to thousands. The user is presented with only 10 records at a time. This is done by using xsl to transform the report xml file into html and just pickup first 10 records initially. When the user presses next, i again pickup this xml file apply xsl and pickup next 10 records. This way i am able to provide him paging functionality, and do not need to re-generate the report everytime. Similarly user can sort by clicking on a column header. Again i go back and transform the xml using xsl:sort etc.. What i am worried about is what would be the behaviour when there are is too much data in my xml file - say 5,000 or 10,000 records. What is a reaonable maximum. (As you can see one of the reasons xml is being used here is to avoid re-generating the report everytime user clicks NEXT/PREVIOUS etc.. So xml is also a caching mechanism here.) Please let me know your valuable inputs in this regard Jitu XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
