I have never used a C XML library, but Java and Python. Both are much simpler to use than manual parsing and are escpecially consistent.
For example, what if the string for the tag is in a comment (something like <!-- this is a comment to break something <SYNC -->). I guess then both demuxers with the current approach would fail. Of course some could fix this case with a lot of ifs, but I guess, without proper parsing the code becomes unreadable soon. So maybe we could say, a library is less annoying than manual parsing. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
