Hi,
I would like to parse an RSS feed using Swift 3.1 on Linux.
I tried to use Foundations’s XML but I only managed to get segmentation faults.
Is this supposed to work on Linux? I have only seen examples on iOS.
Apart from that a quick search didn’t reveal any useful XML parsing
library compatible with Linux.
Any suggestions?
-g.

XMLParser is a SAX-based parser, which is optimized for memory-usage.
There's also XMLDocument, which is DOM-based and is optimized for
developer convenience. If the XML files you're reading are small, i.e.
few megabytes, DOM-based is usually the easiest way to handle such
documents. XMLDocument is also implemented in Swift-Foundation, but I
found that it was lacking too much functionality (e.g. namespacing).
The situation might be different now -- you could check the source for
`NSUnimplemented()`.
Other options is to link libxml2 (C library), however that requires
much more effort on your end -- it doesn't expose high-level API's such
as XMLDocument.
