Subject: XMl and Hashtable question


Hi everyone,
Quick question:

My rather huge xml file, has the following format:
<tag1 ..>
        <tag2 ..>
                <tag3 ..>
                        <tag4 ..>
                        <tag4 ..>
                        ....
                </tag3>
        </tag2>
</tag1>

From this file, I need to get all the info about tag1  (all the tag2,
tag3, tag4 for tag1).

I have 2 ideas: Parse once and hold "tag1:tag2:tag3:tag4" as the key in
a Hashtable, or parse everytime.

My question: Which is more expensive - parsing this XML file using JDOM
parser each time or reading from the Hashtable and splitting the key
based on ":" to get info for tag1?

Thanks for your time.
