XML Data sources

[Steve Anderson]

Does it make sense to leave the data in the XML tree and just march up 
and
down it when I wish to display the data or should I parse it into some 
other
structure?

I guess it depends how deep/complex the XML tree goes.  I am in a 
similar situation.  From my previous use of Java my preference would be 
to build an array (or some other collection-type structure) of objects 
from the XML tree.


Are there performance issues with keeping the data in an xml tree?

I would like to know the answer to this too.  I guess you need to test 
the performance of each approach.

If you got a sec could you look at my thread...subject: 'The Stack 
Metaphor'.
