Best way to store content

I'm creating a reference app and have a big XML with a lot of content.

What is the best way to store and load it?
(I'm mainly concerned with performance).

The content is static, so I can convert it to whatever is best.

Possibilities:

  • XML file, and load and parse it on startup (I fear this is going to be slow)

  • JSON file

  • Include a .js file that contains a js object with the content

  • Database

  • Some other way?

  • I think database.

    Parsing a file or evaling a huge string into the memory will kill the cpu.

    Sqlite it's a file too, but at least its access it's optimised.
