Re: XML Parser

The existing parsers are complex because that's what's required to do a 
good job. Supporting a trivial subset of XML is near-trivial, but there 
is a lot more that has to be dealt with if you want your code to survive 
contact with real data and real users.

Everything should be as simple as possible, but not simpler.

If you want to learn about parsers, implementing a sloppy subset really 
won't teach you much.

"Try not. Do! ... Or do not."

There are royalty-free parsers out there, if that's your concern. I 
don't know what's available in plain C these days, but Apache's Xerces 
parser is available in a C++ version.
