How much is too much XML?

by **maxdetjens** on Wed Nov 28, 2007 4:05 pm

It's been poked at before, but does anyone have an idea of how much is too much XML for the cc backend to handle?

I specifically have an idea that has a midrange number of territories but the continents list would be obscenely long (tens if not hundreds of thousands). I'd probably write a program just to generate the XML.

Thanks.

The problem is we don't know...

AoM & AoR are currently the biggest - Conquer Man, Supermax & Iraq are gonna be big...

The problem is the creation of multiple games at the same time... that's what will hose the system!!!

FWIW I have an xml generation program -written in java- that might be of use for you!!

First off this is getting moved to the foundry.

Second, I don't know what our limit is. Conquer Man is 330k or so and I have no idea how I could make it smaller.

I would assume 1 mb is probably too big. A limit will most likely be set when we need to set one.

There are ways and means of course...

All the XML could be compressed for instance... Most programming languages make short work of compressed files and that can speed up the server.
