That shouldn't be surprising -- generally speaking a parse tree is larger than the text input to the parser. (And java serialization doesn't win any awards for efficiency in either time or space). However, a binary representation of the same data (specified in ASN.1 and encoded using BER, say) would be much smaller and more efficient. \\ Eugene Kuznetsov \\ eugene@d... \\ DataPower Technology, Inc.
