I have an xml file which contains thousands of lines data.
I have converted that xml file into html it is displaying as per my requirement.
But it is taking more than 1 min to load complete data in page(mvc4 cshtml).

Can you please suggest me how to increase the loading speed to view content.

What I have tried:

C#

private static string ConvertXmlToHtmlTable(string xml)
    {
        //StringBuilder html = new StringBuilder("<table style="color#555;">");
        StringBuilder html = new StringBuilder("<!DOCTYPE html><html><body>");

        try
        {
            XDocument xDocument = XDocument.Parse(xml);
            XElement root = xDocument.Root;

            var xmlAttributeCollection = root.Elements().Attributes();
            #region Headings

            
            
            #endregion Headings
            
            foreach (var ele in root.Elements())
            {
                if (!ele.HasElements)
                {
                    string elename = "";




                    if (ele.HasAttributes)
                    {
                        IEnumerable<xattribute> attribs = ele.Attributes();
                        foreach (XAttribute attrib in attribs)
                        {
                            //elename += attrib.Name.ToString() + "=" + attrib.Value.ToString();
                            elename += attrib.Value.ToString() + "<span style="padding-removed30px;"></span>";
                        }

                    }


                    html.Append("<span id="elename" style="font-size:13px;padding-removed30px;">" + elename + "</span>");
                    html.Append("<span id="ele.Value" style=" font-size:13px;padding-removed30px;">" + ele.Value + "</span>");
                    

                    html.Append("<br />");

                }

                else
                {

                    string xmlValues = "";




                    if (ele.HasAttributes)
                    {
                        IEnumerable<xattribute> attribs = ele.Attributes();
                        foreach (XAttribute attrib in attribs)
                            //    elename += Environment.NewLine + attrib.Name.ToString() + "=" + attrib.Value.ToString();
                            xmlValues += Environment.NewLine + attrib.Value.ToString() + "<span style="padding-removed30px;"></span>";

                    }


                    html.Append("<span id="xmlValues" style="font-size:13px;padding-removed30px;">" + xmlValues + "</span>");

                    html.Append("<br /><span id="ConvertXmlToHtmlTable" style="width:300px;">" + ConvertXmlToHtmlTable(ele.ToString()) + "</span>");
                    
                    html.Append("<br />");
                }
            }
            
            html.Append("</body></html>");
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            return xml;
            // Returning the original string incase of error.
        }
        return html.ToString();
    }

Start by profiling your code. It's quite likely that the bulk of the time will be spent by the browser downloading and parsing your massive HTML file, which is something you have no control over. The only solution to that would be to reduce the number of records you return.

Hi
Thanks for response ,
The xml files is converted and stored into string with in less time.
but while displaying the data in html taking too much time.
May be html content is high.

Then the problem is either with the length of time it takes to transmit the data over the network, or the length of time it takes the browser to parse and display the HTML.

Short of paying to upgrade your users' network connections and computers, the only thing you can do to improve the speed is to load less data.

Either provide a means to filter the data that's loaded; or split the data into multiple pages; or summarise the data in some way. How you do that will depend on what you're doing with the data once it's loaded.

Remember, there's no way a user is going to read through thousands of lines of data just to find the one row they need.

Hi All,
I am very happy that the simple pre tag whihc is amazing html tag is resolving my issue.
In string every thing is ready to display but i have been struggling that how to display in html view quickly. Finally i implemented that i have put my html string between pre tag. Now with in second the data is displaying.
Thank you one and all for support.

If the xml does not change [much] try generating the html once and saving it for latter and using the saved version.

Well, i'd strongly recommend to read this: Converting XML to HTML[^] and this: Chapter 9 - Improving XML Performance[^].

All what i'm trying to say is: you have to use xml transformation via xslt to be able to increase the process of conversion xml to html.
Try!

The most obvious problem I see is that your code do not compile:

C#

html.Append("<span id="elename" style="font-size:13px;padding-removed30px;">" + elename + "</span>");
                    html.Append("<span id="ele.Value" style=" font-size:13px;padding-removed30px;">" + ele.Value + "</span>");

is not legal.

I think posting real code in question would help.
