Description

Large XML files, when processed by processors such as SplitXML, have to be read completely in memory; the result is a huge memory footprint. I propose to introduce a StAX-based approach, possibly based on Apache Axiom, either in (some of) the existing processors or in a new processor. I volunteer for the development.
