Title: Question for updating existing XML file

You probably want to use VTD-XML. It is probably the only XML processing

API supporting incremental update.

Subject: [xml-dev] Question for updating existing XML file

Hi,

First time posting, new to the list.

How do you update your XML files? 
Example:
  (in a huge XML file...)
  <Entry>
   <name>Jon</name>
  </Entry>
  ...

If I want to update the name to Joe, or add another name Jane.  So the node looks like this:
  (in a huge XML file...)
  <Entry>
   <name>Joe</name>
   <name>Jane</name>
  </Entry>
  ...

Is there a way to do this kind of update without rewrite the whole file?  My file is about 50MB.

Thanks.
