May I quote Confuncius? "Do not use a cannon to kill a mosquito." For a handfull of use cases like those Gustavo presented we don't need (and we don't want) a full XML implementation. We just need a tiny subset that will be useful for other EFL libraries like efreet and for those who don't need to link to yet-another-library just to parse simple xml files. regards, Lucas De Marchi ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Software Download: Index, Search & Analyze Logs and other IT data in Real-Time with Splunk.
