xml benefit

[m4tty]

would it have any advantages to store a tree like navigation structure as xml than in mysql or files for example?
and how would i do that?
yeah, the tree functions are in php.
thx

XML is great for trees because the structure is already a tree, whereas with queries from a database you generally have to create the "tree" in code.

File size would be somewhat bigger compared to mySql
