Evalution of XPath over a XML stream?

[bhoylman]

I've researched this topic for the last couple of days and came up with basically nothing. I found XSQ which is a research paper on HPDT + a partial implementation, but I mean partial and in no way ready for a prime time application. So what's up with that?

I would have bet money there was a more complete implementation of this concept that what I came across. The idea of having to load an entire XML document into a DOM in order to apply XPath locations across it is pretty impractical, particularly with the very large XML document becoming more and more commonplace. At least that's been my experience anyways.

Have I missed that one implementation that does what I need it to, namely emit XPath results as the stream is being parsed? Minimized memory footprint and still complete enough to query against? I sure didn't find it. What say you folks? Let me know what you think.

Peace.

Very interesting, George. I'll give this a spin in my problem space and see what I can come up with. Thanks for the information. I appreciate it.

Peace.
