Just out of curiosity, how large is your XML?

Also, are you parsing it on Android by any chance? (you did not specify whether it was JavaEE, desktop or Android SDK). Also, for alternative XML parsing solutions you might wanna check here[^]

Same question as Andrei,
Size of XML
SE/ME/EE
Available Memory or maximum memory you can allocate

If you are not ready to allocate enough memory for the size of the XML you are operating on ,it is impossible even for the best program to parse.

Try using the SAX parser instead : http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/javax/xml/parsers/SAXParser.html[^]
