Elements in the XML Object language are similar to elements in the XPRESS language, but it is more efficient to use the XML Object language if the values are static.

These two languages differ primarily in that XML Object language does not allow the contents of an object to be computed with an expression. This restriction allows the system to construct the object more efficiently, which will result in faster processing if the object is large.

When defining lists with XML Object language, the list is created once when the form is read from the repository and reused thereafter. When defining lists with XPRESS, a new list is created every time the form is displayed.
