A question "is A faster than B" can only have a meaningful answer in respect of a particular processor. In general, a structure like <a/><b/><a/><b/>, in which relationships are implied by adjacency, is bad news for XSLT, but you might get away with it in this case. It's bad news because there's an object in your conceptual model that doesn't map to an XML element, it maps to a pair of XML elements, an a and a b. > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of > James Pasley > Sent: 27 July 2001 18:00 > To: 'xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' > Subject: [xsl] keys and performance > > > > I am using XSLT to convert between two sets of values, using a "table" > defined in XML and a key. > Does the way the table is structured effect performance for > large tables? > For example, is either one of the following two structures > better than the > other? > Or is there a better way? > > Version 1: used elements will the keys stored as attributes > <xsl:key name="CountryCodeKey" match="csl:CountryCode/csl:value" > use="@key"/> > <csl:CountryCode default="Other"> > <csl:value key="IE">Ireland</csl:value> > <csl:value key="FR">France</csl:value> > <csl:value key="NL">Netherlands</csl:value> > <csl:value key="JP">Japan</csl:value> > <csl:value key="AU">Australia</csl:value> > </csl:CountryCode > > > > Version 2: Uses separate elements for the keys and values > <xsl:key name="CountryCodeKey" match="csl:CountryCode/csl:value" > use="preceding-sibling::cs:key[1]"/> > <csl:CountryCode> > <csl:key>IE</csl:key> > <csl:value>Ireland</csl:value> > <csl:key>FR</csl:key> > <csl:value>France</csl:value> > <csl:key>NL</csl:key> > <csl:value>Netherlands</csl:value> > <csl:key>JP</csl:key> > <csl:value>Japan</csl:value> > <csl:key>AU</csl:key> > <csl:value>Australia</csl:value> > </csl:CountryCode > > > Thanks, > > James Pasley > > Cape Clear Software Limited. > 61 Fitzwilliam Lane > Dublin 2 > Ireland > > Email : james.pasley@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Switchboard : + 353 (1) 2419900 > Direct line : + 353 (1) 2419957 > Fax : + 353 (1) 2419901 > www : www.capeclear.com > > > > XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list > XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
