PropertyTree's XML parsers survey
Hi, PropertyTree currently has 5 (five!) different xml readers using 4 different parsers. I don't want to maintain them all. Looking at the open tickets for PT shows that most bugs occur in the various xml readers, and there's no point in having more than one. I just wonder which one to keep. To those who use PropertyTree's XML format, which parser do you use? Do you have any experience with the pros and cons of the various parsers? All feedback is highly appreciated. Sebastian
,well i am using the stock one, rapid xml i think, and i had no problem whatsoever but that's just me . I think you may drop support for tinyxml and pug since they are not belong the boost originally. spirit parser is a good use case , you may think of moving it to examples or something like that. I see you are maintaining library now, so i suppose the original author can't afford anymore?.I very much like to see property_tree in official distribution, and like to help if you also think so. Best Regards Hurcan

I have been only using the provided rapidxml parser, and have had no need for anything different. I only use XML for very basic configuration files, and don't know whether more complicated uses would benefit from a different parser. Thank you for providing some maintenance for this library.
