Start SoapUI click on the toolbar icon to create a new SOAPUI project. Initialize it with WSDL from a file or from a URL. Also check the checkbox to Create TestSuite: Step 3. Click “OK” […]
Question: I’m trying to read a very large xml file. It’s about 500MB. The content is a list of records. There are about 100,000 nodes with the same tag that contain single records. Is there a limit on the file size or number of nodes that can be processed? Answer: There is no limit other than running out of memory. […]
A bug affecting the .NET (C# and VB.NET) implementations of the Chilkat.Xml.Search* methods was introduced in v9.4.1. The problem has to do with passing a null (in C#) or Nothing (in VB.NET) for the first argument in the Chilkat.Xml.Search* methods. Passing a null should be a valid and common practice — it means to begin searching at the root node […]
This post clarifies the meaning of “child”. An XML node may have 0 or more child nodes. A child node is a direct descendent of the parent (i.e. it is one level below the parent node). Methods such as NumChildrenHavingTag will return the number of direct descendents (i.e. nodes that are exactly one level below the calling node) that match […]
The Chilkat XML component library (for C#, VB.NET, ASP.NET, ASP, VB6, FoxPro, Delphi, C++, C, Perl, Ruby, Python, Java, etc.) has a number of Search* methods. These methods search for a node in the XML document matching a specific criteria. For example, SearchForTag searches for the 1st node that has a tag with a specific value. The general form of […]
A Chilkat XML object represents a single node within an XML document. The “root” is the topmost node in the XML document tree. As long as at least a single reference to a node (anywhere in the tree) exists, the entire XML tree remains in memory. Typically, an XML API returns a new node object when navigating. Chilkat XML does […]
