Thanks a lot for the suggestion. Works fine.
I only tried deepseq because my first try with seq
let content = xml `seq` parseXMLDoc xml
didn't work.
Have you considered using ByteStrings for your application. There, hGetContents is strict. Also, you will benefit from more efficient string operations.
Yes, I thought about it but didn't dig deeper because Text.XML.Light wants a string as input and I didn't find a conversion. But now I found toString in Text.XML.Light.UTF8 so I tried it. It doesn't make much difference in performance because the xml files are pretty small. However, using the strict functions makes the code a bit less esoteric. :-) -- Thanks, Manfred
