Size of DOM

[La...@WellsFargo.COM]

Dear All:

I have DOM document in memory (an object of class Document from org.w3c.dom
package.) I want to find out the size of this DOM in memory. Also I want to
find out how many items does this DOM contain? Can anyone tell me the best
way to do so?

Thanks much.
Kaushik.

What do you mean by "size of this DOM in memory"? Number of charactes of 
text content? Size of the actual objects? The latter is far outside XSLT's 
domain...

What do you mean by "items"? Number of nodes? Number of elements? Number 
of words in the text content? Depending on your definition we can probably 
come up with an XPath which will return that value, but you might find 
that writing a program to call the DOM APIs directly would be a good 
alternative.
