Fastest XSLT on my own XML like hierarchy

[Yaniv_Shaya <Ya...@orsus.com>]

Hi,

I have a hierarchical data structure and want to take advantage of XSLT to
convert it to other XML formats.

If I want to get the FASTEST possible execution of the XSLT what interface
should I expose to that data structure if I know I'm going to use Xalan ?
DOM / SAX / String / Xalan specific ?

If this hierarchical structure may be infinite at some level of the
hierarchy, and the XSLT does not need to access that level, would Xalan try
to ? What interfaces should I expose - is there such interface that won't
cause the XSLT implementation to iterate into those nodes ?

Thanks,
	Yaniv.
