Yes, but a lot of C parser aren't free/open...
I know some, most known is Expat... But, to work, it have to get the =

Actually, I think expat WILL work with streams.
Here is the prototype from xmlparse.h:

/* Parses some input. Returns 0 if a fatal error is detected.
The last call to XML_Parse must have isFinal true;
len may be zero for this call (or any other). */

int XMLPARSEAPI XML_Parse(XML_Parser parser, const char *s, int len, intisFinal);

So... basically you read from your stream to a buffer. Call XML_Parsewith isFinal set to 0 with your buffer, and repeat until you reachend-of-stream. You're callbacks will be called as expat parses the input.


Cheers, Brett
