What is the best way to work with XML in Android
Android
devices are much slower and have much less memory than PCs/servers, so what’s the best way to process XML in Android? I have a very complex set of XML that needs to be parsed. Either SAX or DOM can lead to too much code. Does anyone have a good suggestion? I want to make it clean and fast
Solution
The type of parser you use in your application depends on your requirements. You can also try XMLPullParser. You can see the performance of all three parsers here.

There are also some third-party XML parsers available… I used this parser in one of my previous apps and it was pretty fast. It has an Xpath implementation.
