Re: Parsing big compressed XML files

[Oliver Kroth <oliver.kroth@...>]

Hello Valerio,

yes, actually I am using exactly this library in my project.

You won't get rid of the overall time to decompress the data, but you may
-  decrease the delay between starting to read the compressed file and 
parsing the XML
-  reduce the memory and disk space used during the parsing

Is your XML data just plain deflated or is there a PKZIP archive 
structure around it? Then you would need something to navigate through 
it, which can be done in pure Lua
