A while ago I made a suggestion about using the spirit parser with its associated xml grammers.
No one has commented on this. I'm curious why this idea doesn't seem to be attractive to anyone else.. I used it with very good results in the serialization library. It created a much more robust and maintainable parser than I could have done by hand. What am I missing here?
Robert, Indeed, it's a very interesting question. I like the idea of Spirit parser, not only for XML processing, but from time to time I got some comments that Spirit performance for parsing big input is not very good. Although, I've never seen any numbers presenting bad performance of Spirit, I think people may be scared of using it for parsing big data sets. Cheers -- Mateusz Loskot http://mateusz.loskot.net
