XML Parser

[chem1]

Hello,
I am intending to build an XML Parser in VB.Any ideas how can I get started.
Thankx in advance...

These are my personal views of the subject:

- writing your own XML parser makes about as much sense as writing your own database: it doesn't.
unless you have veeeeeeery much time.

- Microsoft's XML parser in written in C(++). That's why it's really fast. I doubt, that you'll get close to that speed.

- you'd also need to implement XSL it you want to make your parser as good as MS's.

- XML/XSL allow user-defined funtions written in a scripting language. Not easy to implement.

- if you are still not intimidated yet, :-)
start with the specs for XML and XSL to see what you have to implement.
Good luck. See you next year :-)
