Can you describe how this compares to HaXml? Were there deficiencies in HaXml?
The main difference is that it's simpler. It's perhaps 10-20% the size of HaXml. For a program that just has to do simple XML processing, it's sometimes undesirable to have to link in a library that does a lot more than you need. Another difference is that this package is BSD licensed, while HaXml is under the LGPL. Aaron
