Hello everybody. I've been wondering, what are the current plans to
replace std.xml? I'd like to help with the effort to get a final XML
library in phobos. So, I have a few questions.
First, and most importantly, what do we except out of a D XML library?
I'd really like to have a discussion of the form, "Here is exactly the
interface the structs/classes need to implement, go forth and
implement." The general idea in my mind is "something SAX-like, with
something a little DOM-like." I'm aware that std.xml has some issues
support different encodings, so obvious that's included.
Second, is there an existing library that has gotten close to meeting
whatever we need for the first point? If so, how far away is it from
being able to meet all of the requirements and become the standard
library version?
I don't know much about XML, but I noticed there are a few popular
libraries and models. I'd expect a replacement for std.xml would choose
one of these popular models that is most appropriate for D.
