XML parsing memory overhead concerns

[Richard Tobin]

Though James Clark has explained how you can do what you want with
expat, you might be interested in LT XML.  LT XML was originally
written to handle large natural-language corpora, some of which are
several gigabytes.  It allows you to read "bits" sequentially, and
when you find a start tag that you are interested in, easily fill in
the tree rooted there.  It can also validate if desired (validation
requires memory to store a table of IDs and IDREFs, but still works
without building a tree).
