I have a XML parser (SAX and DOM) which is written in C and is very fast. It runs on z/OS, but on other platforms, too (Linux, Windows, OS/2). On z/OS, I built an interface to make calls from PL/1 possible, and the routines for the SAX events can also be PL/1 routines. The same is of course possible for ASSEMBLER; the PL/1 interface (or the C interface) should in my opinion be usable by HLASM without any investment.
I recently observed that the storage management which is built into this parser outperforms standard malloc/free of LE (it is optimized especially to deal with many allocations of small areas of storage). If you're interested, please contact me offline to discuss further details. Kind regards Bernd Am 25.07.2013 02:31, schrieb Paul Raulerson:
Is anyone aware of an XML parser written in HLASM? Ideally, I would like to find a DOM like parser, but a SAX parser is better than having to write one from scratch. :) Oh, this will most likely run under zLInux, so if someone has already built HLASM interfaces to eXpat or libXML2 or something similar, that would work very well for us as well.
