You may want to look at vtd-xml as the state of the art in XML processing, consuming far less memory than DOM vtd-xml

If you have distaste for DOM, but would like something more convenient than SAX, you might want to check out Objective-XML. Features:

- True incremental parsing
- Something better than DOM or SAX
- NSXMLParser-compatible SAX parser, if you want that
- HTML parsing
- Much faster than the built-in stuff ( roughly 10x )

@anon_anon:

Interesting. My projects tend to use XML as an interchange format, focusing on the consumption and not the generation and putting the data into a SQL database or Core Data–hence the “Parsing” in the title and the short shrift on XSLT and XQuery in the presentation. I intentionally left out additional toolkits because I wanted to focus on the fundamentals and what’s available by default in Apple’s SDKs.

I hadn’t heard of vtd-xml before–looks like it might be an interesting addition to people’s XML toolkit.

You might want to take a look at vtd-xml, the next generation parser that claims to be a lot faster than DOM
