I am not sure you have ever used S-Expressions then, they are *vastly* easier to parse then XML. If you want a plain SExpr parser (with no language execution), there is a tiny library on Google code that does it faster then any XML parser and in vastly less code, both for the library side and the user side, although the best aspects of SExpr configurations are thanks to things like Scheme and Lisp as it allows you to put arbitrary code in the configuration file, while still looking completely like the configuration file. It *vastly* simplifies things. Here is a great example of what I speak, first Google result I found: http://www.defmacro.org/ramblings/lisp.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
