Analysis and Comparative Research of XML Parsing Technology

With the development of information technology and network technology, XML technology has played an increasingly important role in current internet and IT application environment. As a universal standard language for data transmission and exchange, extensible makeup language (XML) integrates data presentation, storage, transmission and processing as a whole, and plays an increasingly important role in various information applications. However, XML is just a plain text format for encoding data , parsing technology is needed to process XML file to obtain corresponding data. Therefore, how to efficiently parse XML file is of vital significance. On the basis of analysis and experiment of xml parsing technologies that are commonly used in application development, this study compares the parsing technologies in terms of memory consumption, execution efficiency and programming complexity, which provides theoretical reference and application guidance for selection of xml parsing technology.
