Fast XML DOM getElementsByTagName Optimized !

Today I did some code optimization, cleanup and refactoring. Result of that was TG_XmlNode.getElementsByTagName() was optimized to consume lesser script statements. I was able to reduce the script consumption upto 50%, by in-lining many statements and adding few checks.

Together with this I added a bench marking class “TG_XMLDOM_BenchMarks.cls”. This can be used to quickly bench mark XmlDom vs Fast Xml DOM on different xml samples.

How to use bench marking

1. Open “TG_XMLDOM_BenchMarks.cls”

2. Locate static string variable named “XML_URL” to public URL of your XML sample. Together with this, you need to white list domain for this url via “Setup > Security Controls > Remote Site Settings”.

   

3. Call  “TG_XMLDOM_BenchMarks.benchmark()” to start benchmarking.

   // Just call this method
   TG_XMLDOM_BenchMarks.benchmark();

4. Check the debug logs, the results will be logged with Logging Level of INFO. Sample shown below:  

   INFO|XmlDom.constructor() -> Scripts Used : 4804 ,time consumed : 264
   INFO|TG_XmlDom.constructor() -> Scripts Used : 26 ,time consumed : 18
