I work with xml files that have up to 10000 events in them each with about 30 lines. So each xml file could have 300000 lines. I want to incorporate xml validation into my pre processing process and开发者_运维问答 was wondering what are the fastest xml validation options available on a linux platform. To start off with I analysed xmllint as a validator and found that the 10000 event files took up to 1 sec (with the first taking a whopping 5 secs):

bash$ for file in `ls xml*xml`; do echo "checking $file of event length `grep '<event ' $file | wc -l`"; time xmllint --noout $file; result=`echo $?`; if [[ "$result" == "0" ]]; then echo "$file : valid"; else echo "$file : invalid returned $result"; fi; done

Does anybody have faster xml validators that I could use to achieve this?

A

I believe RXP is the fastest validating XML parser or at least it has this reputation. I have used its python binding but never the plain C.
