Hi RAF,

I dont have performance measures and experience on this
since i never had to read "really" huge xml files. But i think
this also heavily depends on the kind of xml parser you
use. Dont ask me how the System.Xml Parser handles huge
files. I store huge and important things inside a RDBMS like
SQL Server, Oracle, or another proven  and stable system
not a xml file,...

This depends on the extensibillity of your application
and sometimes it is a choice of style. It is sometimes
the same with objects in OO Programming. You will
have a vehicle class, it will have a child object that can be
a car class and it can have attributes like a engine="V6"
and its fuel="leaded" and four tires with attribute brand="bridgestone"
then it can be extended with for seats and they will have the
attributes like material  = "leather" or color = "red". I am sure
tthat you understand what i am talking about,...

example:

<vehicle>
<car engine="V6" fuel="leaded" model="muscle car">
 <tires count="4" brand="bridgestone">
 <seats count="4" material="leather" color="red">
 </seats>
 </tires>
</car>
</vehicle>

Sure this is a simple example but it show the basic structure
how this can be accomplished. The example can be completely
reorganized but this depends, as i said on the extensibility of
your application and how the "range" of your abstraction should
be and how you want it to be,...

Hi,

It depends,
It could be the same if you planning to use one  atrribute with name "name"
(it's simple to read), but in some situation you will have to use multiple
(1..n) as :

<client>
<name>Vaporex</name>
<name>Vaporex123</name>
</client>

Correct me if i'm wrong.

D.S.
