An xml parser.
2 comments

I did a pull-stylee XML parser once.

In VB.

VB ..... 3

It didn't care (much) about well-formed documents.

You could mix it with snippets of RTF. We did. I used it to parse report templates out of hybrid RTF/XML files.

Not really morally evil though.

Did you use regex?
Nah, that’s for HTML
And... I also used another xml parsing library, because we "needed" our own. (context: first programming job at a startup in college)
