Example complex XML file?

Question

I would like to test something and for it I need a complex XML file of decent size(few hundred kilobytes at least). Does anyone know where I can get such a file? Everything I've seen on the internet is short and simple examples.

By "complex" I mean I also want some form of relationships and nesting between elements of the file.

Answer 1

If you just want it to be a big file size, can you try to just repeat some elements in the XML file?

For instance, write a small program to repeat the element until the file gets big enough for you.

<bookstore>
    <book>Book1</book>
     ....
    <book>Book1000</book>
</bookstore>

try taking a word document and saving it as Word XML...

should be convoluted enough for any test.

Try the XML spec itself it is 221kb
