Self-parsing XML documents to improve XML processing

摘要

A method, computer program product, and system for pre-parsing a large XML document to enable faster processing, comprising providing an XML document that is idle or is being generated, pre-parsing the XML document to generate one or more indices associated with the XML document, storing the indices in the XML document, and storing the XML document in a storage area. At the time of processing the XML document, an XML consumer is able to process the XML document more quickly than normal by using the one or more indices.
