I am writing an IE only application that is using Data Islands (<XML> html tags). I have one XML file that is quite large (1.7M) that contains fairly static data and I would like to remote it (the xml file) somehow on the client. I could break it apart but I was looking for another way to do this because at some point I will be trying to run the pages without any server connection.
I load it once on the main page and then reference it from other pages apply XSLT transformations to it to create new Data Islands. The initial load takes a while due to the size of the file and I suspect that most of the time that the subsequent loads are taking is due to parsing the whole file. The file contains n vendors who have n products. Neither is a know quantity.
The format of the file is as follows:
<vendors>
<vendor>
<VendorElement/>
.
.
.
<Products>
<Product id="xxxxx" .../>
<Product id="xxxxx" .../>
.
.
.
</Products>
</vendor>
<vendor>
.
.
.
</vendors>
