Altova Xmlspy Alternatives For Mac
Android transfer for mac. Does anyone know of any good tools for analyzing giant XML files? I'm dealing with a pre-web services era feed, which is just a giant XML file (20+ mb). I need to write something that imports it to ProcessWire pages every hour. The trouble is that it's a rather complex feed with thousands of tagged elements. The size of the feed is such that it makes it particularly difficult to analyze.

Altova Xmlspy Alternatives For Mac Os X
For instance, it's a bit too large to navigate with browser-based XML tree plugins (at least, with those I've tried so far). I'm trying to find a way to break this into smaller chunks so that I can make some sense of it. Does anyone know of any software tools or services that can help with navigating through a giant XML file?

I don't have access to a Windows machine at the moment, so was kind of limited on tools. Found a couple others, but they couldn't handle the file size. I tried a few more browser plugins and found one that worked nicely. A Chrome extension called XV seems to do alright with the XML file. It does take about 5 or so minutes to load this large XML file, but once loaded, it works pretty well as an XML browser. I'm feeling lucky-PHP's simplexml loads the file in about 5 seconds and has no problem parsing it.
Somebody must have done something right with PHP's simplexml. I do have access to a windows VM, that I use for browser testing. But that is running WinXP + IE and space for nothing more. It's also very slow (probably because it's a VM), definitely not the environment I'd use to process a large XML file.
I've got nothing against PCs, and I've enjoyed them for most of my life. I didn't care for Macs until OS X came into the picture. I'm one of those guys that wanted to be running on.nix and needed Photoshop, so OS X was the only game in town.
Now it's been years since I've used a PC, and I just don't encounter them around here that much. I was always working with windows, started with 98 - ME- 2000 - XP - Vista - Win7, I know them all I'm a Mac user since November 2010 when I started working as web-developper and needed a Mac. I remember my first problem: Damn, why can't I right-click in a folder and create a new file this way? Create every file from the editor? I hated finder (still think its not a great Explorer). On windows I was working with PsPad Editor, a free editor with Syntax highlighting for all + built in FTP. On Mac, there wasn't a free tool that could do the same Nowadays, I feel very comfortable on Mac, but I agree with apeisa: Win7 is a great Os.
