Hi Michael! XNI sounds neat, but do you really think we need to write our own parser as well? We want to parse XML just as everybody else does, we just want it to do that lazily - like the lazy Xerces parser. It would just be importatn to be able to reload some parts later on in case we've dismissed it from the memory in order to lower RAM usage.
Is that not possible with the currrent Xerces parser? How does the current lazy implementation work then? Best regards, D.R. PS: Now posting from OldNabble instead of Outlook, hope this helps.
