in reply to (ar0n) Re: (YA) Perl XML parser
in thread (YA) Perl XML-like parser
There are lax XML parsers, they're called non-validating.
It is supposed to handle <foo />
(as the comments indicate), but I negelected
to test that yet, and have posted prematurely.
I am working on it now, thank you.
UPDATE: This now works, it was meant to, but that's what I get for not testing all cases... As for generic I meant as opposed to podmaster's XML ticker parsers which also user substr but in a format dependent manner.
