[xml] Interrupted sax-based parsing

[christophe dore <christophe dore almonde com>]

Hi,

I have to parse xml files with the following constraints:
- files may be very long (more than 1Go possibly) => DOM cannot apply.
- files contains in fact a list of items. I mean that the root node is 
quite meaningless, here for xml spec conformance.
- the piece of code that will drive the xml parser is itself 
event-driven by callbacks. The main event it receives is 
"returnNextItemOfTheList()", where I have to return a struct based on 
the "next" item I can read in the list. Thus, there is a kind of concept 
conflict.
- I can't do multithreading.

Ideally, I would need an API where I could do several calls to 
xmlParse..., using the same context, and having a subset of the whole 
stuff to be parsed.²

How could I do that ? Is there any examples I could have a look at ?

Thanks for your support.
