Re: [ebxml-dev] XML Data Binding

["Simon Sprott" <Sales@liquid-technologies.com>]

Hi Jimmy

Your right, some data binding implementations can be slow, but the
benchmarks we've performed show our implementation to be similar if not
faster than a validating DOM parser. Because the generated code performs
effectively 'hard coded' validation, and a normal DOM parser has be 'data
driven', which is slower.
Our implementation wins out, or is marginally slower the majority of the
time, there are many factors that effect performance, size of schema, size
of XML document, complexity of schema/document, number of documents
processed in a session etc.

Thanks Simon
