FMP PHP API vx FX.PHP

[doingITgood]

just a quick question: how does the fmp php api hold itself against fx.php?

fx.php uses xml-generated data which has to be parsed by the fx.php module, as far as i know, and i'm wondering if the same goes for the fmp php api.

if there's no xml parsing involved (using the fmp php api) my guess is that performance-wise it would shine.

any comments on this are appreciated.

Chris Hansen (author of FX.php) showed some side by side FX.php and FM API solutions at Filemaker DEVCON.

It looked like FX was slightly faster - but he said depending on the application results may vary.
