lazyxml is a lazy, non-standards-compliant XML 1.0 parser that ignores every mistake it can afford to.

Example

for event in lazyxml::Reader::from_str("<Test>hello, world!</Test>") {
println!("Event: {:?}", event);
}

Why would I need this?

This crate was specifically made to ignore the same mistakes that ActionScript's XML classes were looking past when parsing, for projects compatible with files that also worked in Adobe AIR, Flash, and any other product using AS3. This happens to be more or less doing little to no checks, which makes this crate very performant. As long as the XML is reasonably valid, it'll work. Here's an example of a valid empty element tag:

<Script time="0"a"'"''"'""'''32'34fdhfjsklflsjeje2!!!!!="e"what
='
'/>

The attributes on this tag are parsed as:

• Key: time | Value: 0
• Key: a"'"''"'""'''32'34fdhfjsklflsjeje2!!!!! | Value: e
• Key: what | Value: \n

If you're looking for the opposite, a standards-compliant low-level XML parser, I highly recommend xmlparser.

Note

This is rather early in development, and bangs (!) and processing instructions (?) aren't supported yet.
So probably don't use this at all until it hits 1.0.
