May I ask is anybody working on redeveloping std.xml in the D2/Phobos
library? (Currently it looks like it needs to be started over from
scratch)
Also what is the level of interest from library users for decent XML
support in D2/Phobos?
I have made my own parser, comprised of a tokenizer and a mini DOM layer.
I'm not sure how to qualify the tokenizer: it's mainly based on
callbacks like an event parser, but a callback can decide to stop the
parsing process and return to the original caller of the tokenizer
(which can later restart parsing), it can choose to continue parsing the
next token, or to recursively continue to run the parser using a
different set of callbacks. From there it's trivial to efficiently
implement a pull parser or a SAX parser, but the way callbacks can
recursively call the tokenizer allows greater flexibility than those two
models.
The mini DOM I've made is based on this tokenizer, but is quite ordinary
in comparison.
Here's the generated documentation:

I'm slowly revamping it to use ranges instead of strings.
I think a tokenizer should be a higher-order range that is fed an input
range of ubyte, char, wchar, or dchar (so that would be a type
parameter) and is itself a range of Tokens that include the token type,
token value etc.
