Nearly complete implementation of the XML 1.0 specification [1].
Support new and old namespace [2] proposals. Is in use for the RPM metadata
project [3] for a couple of months without problems (handle about 150 MBytes
of XML/RDF files everyday).
Things to improve are:
- XML entity support
- Language encoding
- APIs, there is currently a tree interface, and a basic
SAX [4] like interface to be completed
- Add DOM interfaces [5]
- etc ...
Stability of the code should be Ok. Stability of the interfaces is not
guarantee however (but more adding than changes/removals).
Work in progress, but usable and in use already,
Daniel
