Parsing XML options

Post by alex.barylski »

So I've seen a few regex XML parsers, one of which was really buggy...had me going on a bug I thought IE and firefox were causing :?

I've used the xml_parse function and friends :)

So I ask, if xml_parse work, why would anyone write there own XML parser using native PHP...

Is it so you will always have available XML parsers??? Incase xml_parse isn't installed???

How often would that happen??? That xml_parse isn't installed?

I need a fast as possible SAX parser which can parse valid or invalid XML/XHTML and i'm thinking xml_parse is the best candidate for the job, but I wonder why I've seen so many custom written parsers???

Cheers :)
