Here's a blog post on the package:
http://www.yesodweb.com/blog/2011/10/xml-enumerator . It doesn't cover
the streaming interface, but it might give you a good overview of the
package in general. I'm not sure what you mean by "it doesn't run,"
but you'll need at least a basic understanding of enumerators to get
off the ground.

I cannot seem to find a working example of xml-enumerator. It doesn't run:

the names seem to have changed for some things, and I'm too much of a

beginner to figure it out easily.

I want to parse a large xml file (2GB), without putting the whole thing into

memory. It's pretty simple with a sax parser in most languages, you just

stream bytes to the sax parser, and wait for sax events.

I recommend you taking a look at xml-enumerator [1] and

libxml-enumerator [2].  They are the SAX parsers you know from the

imperative world but much easier to write =).  In particular, you

don't need to rely on lazyness.
