Powerful Parameters
Depth. Specifies the element depth in the XML hierarchy for inclusion.
Root Element. Encapsulates each split file with the specified root, which may include attributes.
Include File. The splitter inserts the specified file in each split file.
The include file may contain any XML node types that are appropriate at the insert position.
Append File. Inserts the specified file at the end of each
split file. When used with an Include File, each split file may be nested within multiple parent elements.
Threshold Element. Specifies the element in the source file at which the splitter begins processing, skipping over all preceding nodes.
Encoding. Specifies the encoding used to write the split files. utf-8, utf-16 and iso-8859-1 are currently supported.
Byte Order Mark. Specifies whether the splitter writes a byte order mark in each split file. This is useful when feeding the split files into other software that may either require it, or fire an exception if it occurs.

How Does It Work?
XmlSplit uses an XmlReader to read and parse the input XML document. It evaluates the input parameters when each node is read to determine if the node is to be written to the current split file or a new split file created. Auto-numbered split files are named based on an output file parameter.
The splitter may be called from Powershell, Windows Script Host or Windows command.
XmlSplit will split XML files of any size, and was successfully used by a New Jersey
consulting firm to divide a single XML file 60 Gigabytes in size.
