 | Benchmarking Java XML processors
20:15, 1 Jul 2002 UTC | Edd Dumbill Pankaj Kumar has announced XPB4J, a tool for measuring and comparing XML parsing/processing performance. According to XPB4J's web site, it "considers XML operations such as parsing, transformation, validation, encryption/decryption, custom access/manipulation or any combination of these applied to one or more XML files and/or byte streams as XML processing." XPB4J has three components: code to carry out XML processing, a harness to run and measure that processing, and a framework to allow pluggable code and scripts. A report describing processor measurements is available on the web site, considering Xerces, GNU JAXP, Piccolo, XML Pull parser, JDOM, dom4j. Re: Benchmarking Java XML processors (Anonymous Coward - 23:36, 22 Jul 2002) There's also XSLTMark, available for both C/C++ and java engines. Results may be dated, but it's opensource and there for download. Re: The XStat JDOM results (Pankaj Kumar - 17:04, 4 Jul 2002) I have investigated this and found that the suggested change does indeed address the non-linear performance degradation. Please look at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php_func=detail&aid=576754&group_id=37214&atid=419698 for the bug report and details of the investigation. The XStat JDOM results (Jason Hunter - 02:35, 3 Jul 2002) The developers on jdom-interest have looked into the odd behavior of JDOM under the XStat test, and the cause is believed to be a bug in the performance test.
