A better solution would be to utilize json encoding and decoding in php. For example: $xml = json_encode(simplexml_load_file($url)); this can encode a fairly large XML file say 30k and encode it into only 5k. So pulling the xml in json format and using json_decode() to re-translate it executes quickly.

That returns to same. In fact I found this solution to answer a problem which I had in a cache system with data serialized. I thus needed a “common” method for all.
