Abstract
Described herein is a system for 'lazy' manifestation of XML documents. In lazy manifestation, only portions of an XML document that contain data of interest (e.g., a particular element or attribute requested by an application) are manifested. The term 'manifesting a portion of an XML document' refers to creating an in-memory representation of the portion and incorporating it into existing in-memory representation of an XML document, if any. These portions are referred to herein as a loadable unit. A loadable unit is a set of one or more nodes in an XML document, where when there is need to manifest a node in the set, other nodes in the loadable unit are manifested too. Loadable units may, but not necessarily, correlate to content structures that store the nodes. A loadable unit may be the nodes whose content is contained in a row.
