xml-dev - RE: high level XML handling

["Eugene Kuznetsov" <eugene@datapower.com>]

If it's simple enough, you could just use a list of tags & handlers on top of an event-based parser. For more complicated things, you would need a state machine or a stack of some kind. Eventually, when it gets complex and general enough, it makes sense to have a tree -- although probably nothing as complex as DOM.
