[xml-dev] XML Parsing Benchmark

[Devsphere <dxmldev@yahoo.com>]

This benchmark measures the speed, memory requirements and scalability
of different parsing methods (SAX, DOM, SAXDOMIX) and parsers (Xerces, Crimson).

The benchmark tries to answer to the following questions:
    - How fast are the parsing methods? 
    - How much memory resources do they need? 
    - Is the XML parsing scalable? 
    - How does the XML validation affect the performance? 
    - How does the namespace usage affect the performance? 
    - What JDK version and XML parser to use?
