Re: parsing big XML file using DOM

  Have you looked into using SAX at all?  I think SAX may be a better 
alternative
for you.  You'd have to build your own structure in memory, but only the 
items you
actually needed would be created.

DOM is great for when you need a faithful representation of the original 
file,
SAX is great for when you need just parts of it and maybe having the 
whole file
would be too big.
