File Vs ByteArrayInputStream

[Meghana Reddy]

Hi all,
1) I am using a ByteArrayInputStream as InputSource for the SAXParser.parse method for XML Parsing.
2) The other way I can do this is to create a file and write the XML string into the file and pass the file object as InputSource to the SAXParser.
The SAXParser i am using is xerces.jar
Any idea on wht r the pros and cons of performance in both the scenarios 1 & 2.
Thnks in adv

Writing the content to a file on disk certainly will be slower than the pure in-memory solution.
