My own recommendation would be to write your application in
XSLT unless there are very good reasons for choosing a lower level language. You
will find that (especially with XSLT 2.0) it requires a fraction of the number
of lines of code and is easier to maintain. There's no reason why the
performance shouldn't be perfectly adequate - thousands of other people are
developing this way. There's a bit of a learning curve at the start, but most
competent developers get over that after a few weeks,

Hi, I don’t know if this is the
appropriate list for such a basic question, but here it goes! I am writing a
desktop application in Java that needs to read XML files and modify and write
out XML files. Currently I have SAX as my parser and it does a good job of
reading XML but in all the books I have read writing or modifying XML is
really not covered (for SAX). DOM seems to have the ability to read and write
but is said to be constrained by large files (but how large is not specified).
I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction! Thanks!
