the fastest way to get xml and use it in php -

until doing @simplexml_load_file , on returned xml going xpath

the website got big traffic , taking alot of time xml load.

the host told me try get_file_contents don't know in order read returned content xml object

they said try curl or wget me same first 1 i'm stuck with

what can in order xml, fest possible partners api, , still able read xml?

the fastest xml library in php xmlreader. it's pretty obscure (i think has few php users understand , able use it) blazing fast because:

the xmlreader extension xml pull parser. reader acts cursor going forward on document stream , stopping @ each node on way.

which means xml document not preloaded in memory. part it's parsing loaded in memory.
