I have a case. We must index xml files. Its not important to map and seperate the elements. The xsd is very complicated with more then 8000 lines... Converting it to json is really a pain and I think we will get many errors. I need only the raw text. So I thought I index the xml in a text field and using the html\_strip I can get only the text that I need. I have read that the text type supports as max length 32.000 characters.. Some xml files are huge... What is the best solution in my case? As I wrote using xpath or converting this complicated xml in json its really complicated and I only need the plain text. No need to know the elements.
Thank you!!!
