There is number of simplifications in your approach, like external parsed entities, encoding conversions. http://xmlsoft.org/html/libxml-parser.html#xmlByteConsumed From a normal parser you can call this. This is more complex than you may think. I don't think on can get the parsr from a reader but the option exists. > Greatful for any advice and examples of using custom I/O with the > Reader API. I've looked at the custom I/O code samples at xmlsoft.org, It's like the I/O from other APIs ! http://xmlsoft.org/xmlio.html#Example2 http://xmlsoft.org/examples/index.html#InputOutput Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | Red Hat Desktop team http://redhat.com/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] | libxml GNOME XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ http://veillard.com/ | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/ _______________________________________________ xml mailing list, project page http://xmlsoft.org/ xml@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/xml
