XML stream parser

[szczepan]

Hey guys,

any of you know of a Haxe XML library parsing it from a stream? I need to process large XML files and I find default Haxe DOM XML implementation rather slow and very memory hungry and would rather use something in pure Haxe, before writing something on my own (then it'll be targeting only PHP).

Thanks.

Currently Json has much better support are you not able to use Json instead?

I'm consuming externally provided XML file which is to be loaded daily into local DB. As it's a shared (PHP) hosting resources are limited (time and memory).

If the only target you care about is PHP, perhaps you could use a native PHP class that supports streaming XML.  I haven't looked in detail but perhaps this one will do the trick:

You can't use this from Haxe directly, you will need to create an extern class to interact with the native PHP code.  Luckily that's fairly easy to do for a simple class like this, you can find a short explanation here:

Hope that helps,

Jason

I have ported kxml2 from java to haxe, it's called girsu and it's on haxelib. It's slow, but usable (I'm using it at least) and reads from a stream.
