I am currently using XMX Toolkit 2.0.1 to parse and create XML
strings. While it works and does everything I need it to do, it is
very slow. [...]
Have you contacted the author?
Yes, just wanted to check my other options in the mean time.
Considering that it hasn't been updated in almost two years, I
wouldn't blame him for not giving it any attention.
I kind of doubt XML Toolkit will be updated any time soon. I dunno
what the cause of any speed issues might be -- I've never needed to
parse a large enough quantity of XML that this was ever an issue --
however, XML Toolkit also doesn't properly store UTF-8 strings. It's
totally, 100% useless for dealing with Unicode data, which makes it
totally, 100% useless for parsing or generating plist data. I've
mentioned this numerous times, but it still hasn't been updated.
I don't fault Amar for not updating it -- we don't always have time
to keep up old projects as much as we might like. However, it would
be nice if someone could. I've taken a shot a few times, but each
time I end up stalling out because I just haven't been able to find
the time to read all the info on the nitty-gritty details of XML.
