Hi all,
I was wondering if a library I'm developing would be of value to the Boost community. It is basically an event-driven parsing/serialization library for common formats using a standard internal representation or simple pass-through conversions. Would anyone be interested in something like this being added to Boost?
As you are mentioning SAX, do you have XML in mind ? I once developed a C++ wrapper around existing XML C APIs (both, DOM and SAX), with the intent of eventually submitting it to Boost, but never found the energy to finish this. (I started a couple of discussions on this list, and do have some working code here: https://github.com/stefanseefeld/boost.xml) How does your library compare to that ? I'm not sure there would still be any interest in XML APIs in Boost at this point in time. But if so, I believe it's best to start with something like that rather than invent yet another "XML-like" tool. Best, Stefan -- ...ich hab' noch einen Koffer in Berlin...
