Most of the modules, with very different interfaces, are
based on
either libxml or expat. I bet you can bang me over my head
about
something that libxml does and expat doesn't, but the speed
doesn't
seem to be the thing. And what style of parser do you use
matters
much more as the XML grows. And I doubt it's any easier to
install
libxml than expat (or vise versa). Sure, if you only have
and only
can have one, then you do not get to choose.
Sorry, but your original response still looks to me like
talking
about engines when someone asks about cars. Yeah, engines
are
important, but I don't think that was the question.
BTW, from XML::LibXML::SAX docs:
NOTE: At the moment XML::LibXML provides only an incomplete
interface
to libxml2's native SAX implementaion. The current
implementation is
not tested in production environment. It may causes
significant
memory problems or shows wrong behaviour. If you run into
specific
problems using this part of XML::LibXML, let me know.
I don't know about you, but I'm a little worried.
