Hi. I would love to have an IoFilter that would take in a stream and be

Does anyone have any leads for pre-built ones? Or should I dream about
making one? :)
That would be a nightmare then ;-)
Seriously, XML is very complex. Namespaces, entities, tree-like structures.
For Vysper, I tried to hook MINA into a streaming XML parser ("StAX").
But the parsers I looked at were unable to re-parse partial HTML and
had issues as their buffers ran dry (stopped working).
Maybe I just didn't get it right and you will.
In the end, for Vysper I wrote such a parser, but it's only parsing
the XMPP XML subset, not proper XML.
Actually, this very problem was the run I discussed with Bernd last
spring during ApacheCon, as I was looking for a XML parsing supporting
stops in the middle of a XML tag. We need some XML parser that support
this kind of partial data, and can recover from it. Not simple ...
