Question

in an iPad application using XML I would like to understand if using recursion to parse an XML document will hog memory greatly. I ask this because the xml is around 6 levels deep and writing parsing logic for each node type would be tedious.

thanks in advance for your direction on this

Answer 1

I’d say it depends on the size of the stack. You can find more informations here Threading Programming

I cannot give you a clear answer since it depends on how big is your XML and how your code is written.
