Abstract

XML processing is at the core of many middleware systems. In recent years XML databases have become widely available. This article identifies three common XML processing use cases, and compares their performance when XML manipulation is performed in an XML database with equivalent XML manipulation implemented through middleware application code. The article concludes with guidelines for XML processing placement and identifies areas for further study.
