Bout as fast as they come supposedly. I've done quite a bit of playing with XML/XSL processors and the Python one, despite what 4Thought say is still *way* too slow to be really usable. The fastest I've tried is the Microsoft one, but I don't suppose you want to limit Squishdot to Win32 eh!. Expat though is used in lot's of apps so must be pretty good, PHP uses it for instance. hth ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Withers" <chrisw@nipltd.com> To: "Phil Harris" <phil.harris@zope.co.uk> Cc: <squishdot@yahoogroups.com>; <zope@zope.org> Sent: Monday, May 14, 2001 4:56 PM Subject: Re: [Zope] Squishdot News

Doesn't Zope come with Expat and also a Python interface to it?
<zopedir>/lib/python/Shared/DC/xml/pyexpat
So it does :-)
How fast is that compared to sax, xmllib or anything else you'd care to recommend? Where's the documentation?
How would I got about building a very simple parser that has hooks for open tags, closing tags, entities and data?
cheers,
