Slots was entirely another matter. I wanted to confirm the values the l2j C4 sources have.
About the parsing. I saw that all the current projects move from SQL to XML, so I did a little research and read about SAX and DOM. I asked here to give me your opinion on those two methods.
I already did it for character templates and armorsets, which have very little data and it's easier to do, and the results are ok. Everything loads and seems to be just fine. Perfomance-wise I can't tell any difference yet.
