What xml libraries are people using?

[Adam D. Ruppe]

I use the dom.d in the long misc github link. (I wrote it for 
myself)

I find it very convenient but there are some downsides:

1) it is slow with large files
2) it eats a lot of memory, I think about 150 bytes per node, 
plus the actual data (text and attributes). A 1 MB xml file can 
easily eat 10 MB of ram.
3) it isn't very well documented, but if you've used javascript 
dom, most your knowledge can carry over.


So if you're working with a lot of data, you don't want to use it.

But if you're using smaller files and want a lot of convenience 
with stuff like css selectors and convenience functions, or want 
to deal with poorly written html, it is something you can try.

It requires the files dom.d and characterencodings.d from my 
github.


To parse xml while checking for well formedness and utf-8:

auto document = new Document();
document.parse(strXml, true, true);

To parse html while correcting for tags soup and wrong character 
encodings:

auto document = new Document();
document.parseGarbage(strHtml);
