Title
Body
My sinatra app has to parse a ~60MB XML-file. This file hardly ever changes: on a nightly cron job, It is overwritten with another one. Are there tricks or ways to keep the parsed file in memory, as a variable, so that I can read from it on incoming requests, but not have to parse it over and over for each incoming request? Some Pseudocode to illustrate my problem. get '/projects/:id' return @nokigiri_object.search("//projects/project[@id=#{params[:id]}]/name/text()") end post '/projects/update' if params[:token] == "s3cr3t" @nokogiri_object = reparse_the_xml_file end end What I need to know, is how to create such a @nokogiri_object so that it persists when Sinatra runs. Is that possible at all? Or do I need some storage for that?
