Re: [Pharo-users] String vs Symbol use cases

I prefer the last one. Doru On Thu, Sep 17, 2015 at 4:10 PM, Peter Uhnák <i.uhnak@gmail.com> wrote:

Are there some best practices regarding using strings and symbols?

For example I am processing XML and I might query it via xpath...

myDocument xPath: 'entity/@name',

or

myDocument xPath: #'entity/@name'

or

myDocument / 'entity' @ 'name'

or

myDocument / #entity @ #name.

So does it make sense to prefer one over the other here?

Any opinion/advice appreciated,

Peter
