[...] spaghetti effect is inherent to the callback-based approach of push parsers?

Or maybe would you say that the spaghetti effect is small and acceptable

here?

I've done quite of bit of XML processing in the past, using both PUSH (i.e. SAX) and PULL parsers, and also wrote my own JSON PUSH and PULL parsers, and I *much* prefer PULL parsers. They are simpler to use, and lead to nicer client code, that's easier to read and follow. Not sure it's relevant to the discussion here, but just in case I thought I'd share that perspective. --DD
