180,000 nodes isn't absurdly large (do you count text nodes?), and
should be within reach if you make sure you have enough memory. For
comparison, Jon Bosak's Old Testament is about 50,000 nodes, and Saxon
builds the tree for this in under 2 seconds. But it's clearly large, and
you want to avoid parsing this data repetitively if you can. How you do
that depends very much on the application.

Subject: [xsl] Displaying and using huge node lists
Hi,
I have been given an interesting challenge. Previously I have
worked only with
reasonably small xml files with up to several hundred nodes.
As part of a Business Information System (BIS) I am to create
a node tree of
up to 180,000 nodes which is then to be represented
graphically as a tool to
drill down into the BIS.
I have been trawling the archives but am yet to see a
definite solution to this
problem. Any ideas anyone?? Help would be appreciated even
with what maybe the
best parsing method and tool.
Cheers!!
Tristan
