Re: [xsl] which is more effiecient and fast doc() or collection()

[Mario Madunic <hajduk@xxxxxxxx>]

I'm redfaced, my question should have been the other way around as I'm already
using collection(). (Too many projects on the go). But my question still stands,
which is better?

I have a variable that contains the names of the dirs I'm using and then
tokenize it and test its current value.

Also I've cheated a bit. Since members of the project I'm working on have little
knowledge and apps for XSD/DTD, I parsed the XSD to create a simplified XSD (non
compliant but easily read) in which I resolve all groups. I only output the
children's info except if its name is body, then output the info of the childred
of body. I keep the sequence element but toss the choice (children of choice are
output though). This is the structure I parse instead of the XSD directly.

Here is a snippet of code where I parse the dirs.

<xsl:for-each select="tokenize($g_XSDDirs, ',')">

 <xsl:variable name="l_Dir" select="." />

 <xsl:choose>
  <xsl:when test="$l_Dir = 'block' or $l_Dir = 'objects' or $l_Dir = 'inline' or
$l_Dir = 'metadata'">
   <xsl:for-each select="collection(concat('../../simplifiedXSD/', .,
'?select=*.xml'))">
    <xsl:variable name="l_FileNameMinusExt"
select="substring-before(tokenize(base-uri(), '/')[last()], '.')" />
    <xsl:result-document href="../readMe/svg/{$l_Dir}/{$l_FileNameMinusExt}.svg"
method="xml" encoding="utf-8" indent="yes">
     <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"; version="1.1"
width="{$l_ViewPortLength}" height="43" viewBox="0 0 {$l_ViewPortLength} 43">
      <xsl:apply-templates />
     </svg>
    </xsl:result-document>
   </xsl:for-each>
  </xsl:when>
  <xsl:otherwise>
   <!-- do nothing -->
  </xsl:otherwise>
 </xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each>
