Loading subset of a XML tree

[shaikemarc]

This is more of a question/enhancement than an issue.
Is there a way to load just subset of the xml tree and not the whole xml file?

I need to parse large xml files and not interested in all the data from those files but just data from specific nodes.
I was thinking that instead of loading the entire XML and then xpath it, my code will traverse (using standard xml GetToken() method) to an interesting node and ill load just that code to your library and query just it..

Thanks

Did you try this xmlquery package??
I guess you should convert the interesting node to the standard XML string and then load by XPath library.

Thanks, but wanted to save the double conversion, from binary to string and back...

I am sure xmlquery package can handle a large XML files, you should try.
