Does some one have made performance tests on the different XML libraries for Haskell? I have a 20MB xml file that I want to read. I remember from my earlier experiments (years ago) that all libraries were too slow and were consuming too much memory.
For my XML needs, I ended up just using the TagSoup library to extract the parts I wanted. At least this allows lazy processing of large files (a typical file is in the 1 to 4 GB range). Performance is acceptable, and Neil is rumored to have a plan to improve it further. -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
