For the XML-RPC client component I had to write my own XML Parser in Javascript because of this, and the Jabber.org team will have to do the same for their component. This is unnessecary, redundant work with Expat part of Mozilla, but as it isn't exposed as a scriptable XPCOM component. We _could_ write a XPCOM scriptable SAX compliant XML parser in Javascript, as we then would "only" have two XML parsers in Mozilla, in stead of a whole host, but this still seems to me to be overkill and a waste of our time.
Attached file Simple JavaScript SAX Parser (deleted) —
I've attached a .tar.gz of the start of a SIMPLE sax parser in javascript, it needs quite a bit of work, but 80% of the most popular use of it is done. The intention is that this will develop into an XPCOM component that can be shared minimally between XML-RPC and Jabber, and possibly anything else that needs to parse chunks of XML or have raw access to the parser and not a DOM. Also, the correct evolution would be to replace this with an expat-based component, whenever someone arrives w/ the time and talent to do so :)
Great! I'll try and integrate it into XML-RPC as a test this week.

I'm going to mark this duplicate of bug 315826, since that's where the implementation that's now in the trunk happened. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 315826 ***
