| Summary: | Apparent memory leak (depending upon browser) in DataSchema.XML | ||
| Description: | Looking at the gist, depending upon the browser you will see memory consumed and never released until that tab is closed. This was brought to my attention on IRC from kanzie, who is coming from jQuery and noticed the memory leak there. Isolating it in this test case shows that there is definitely a leak. In Safari 5.1.3, each test run does not consume any additional memory. It remains completely flat. Firefox 10.0.2 (latest) shows huge memory growth at each test run that never settles or collects (even after closing the tab). I believe this may be a result of the native XML parsing, but hoping for an answer :) |

There's always JSON ;)
Seriously, though, if you're fetching XML from an external resource, you can use YQL to translate the XML -> JSON.
http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?format=json&callback={callback}&q=select%20*%20from%20xml%20where%20url%3D'http%3A//remote/xml/service/com'
(human readable form: "select * from xml where url='http://remote.xml.service.com'" output as JSONP with callback {callback}
Have a look at the YQL console for the XML table
