I remember that HaXML has also a lazy XML parser. maybe if you just need to use some specific information stored in your XML file you can earn some time/memory with it.<div>From my experience, HXT seems faster.</div><div><br>

<div>Hi,</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>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. I hoped that this situation had changed but maybe not. I looked at HaXML, libxml, HXML and&nbsp;HXT.&nbsp;HaXML eats a lot of memory and is still very slow. libxml is unfinished binding to the C library. Currently it only allows to create documents. HXML seems to be very promising. It works fast and it doesn&#39;t eat memory. Unfortunately it is that it seems to be rather old. It uses its own Arrow and Tree libraries instead of the standard libraries. I have not jumped into HXT yet because it seems to be very large library. Could someone recomend which one is the state of the art?</div>
