Question

I have a very basic XML structure/file on disk which is something like:

If by not loading XML, you mean not building a DOM tree, VTD-XML is the only API that allows you to cut paste split or modify incrementally. Furthermore, because VTD-XML is memory efficent, you won't have to worry about the size of XML document. A similar post in Java is at How to update large XML file. Notice that vtd-xml is available in Java, C# , C and C++.
