[SDL] XML Parser

[Phuoc Can Hua]

Of course,  you can use yacc/bison to write an XML parser. But at the end you still have to write (define) it. yacc/bison is more useful for complex language where you can define operators, instructions, calculation precedences, function calls.

For give me for sounding naive, but why do we need XML 'parsers' anyway?
What ever happened to using lex/flex and yacc/bison to parse content?
