RE: XML-INTO (just need a quick answer)...

["Neill Harper" <neill.harper@xxxxxxxx>]

It seems to be performing fine for us, but I haven't benchmarked it against
anything, also the XML Toolkit comes with both the SAX and SAX 2 interface
as well as the DOM parser. To be honest I'd be shocked if the RPG complier /
runtime wasn't using those behind the scenes? 

Anyone got an RPGIV program using XML-INTO and XML-SAX that they would care
to share a DSPPGM on to see what service programs are bound in?

The IBM XML Toolkit is cumbersome and slooow...the RPG XML-INTO is much
easier and faster.  We eliminated it long ago due to performance, wrote our
own parser, and finally threw the homegrown parser out when IBM came up with
XML-INTO and XML-SAX.

I used the IBM XML Toolkit for a couple of projects several years ago 
and it was and still is a pain to use.  I use XML-INTO and XML-SAX now 
for processing XML files.  They are much easier.
