Blocking calls in SAX parsers

["Martin Soukup" <martin@dynamine.net>]

There are obvious reasons why the calls are blocking in SAX handling, but if you had multiple handlers splitting out of an event filter, would there be any reason not to add threading to the system. Basically what I’m asking is: Can anyone see a reason you wouldn’t execute multiple threads inside an XML parser as long as you still meet the design constraints set about in the SAX standard?

 

Thanks,

Martin.
