playing with tokens
(Thursday 26th September 2002)

my quest to build a fault-tolerant XML-parser in PHP continues.

Not sure if I'm making a complete fool of myself, this is something different from posting random thoughts to a blog. I'm trying to figure out how to parse XML-like markup fault-tolerantly, and I'm simultaneously tryimng to document my learning. I could simply sit down and write some code, and maybe share tha later. One thing is for sure, I'd never find time to document my learnings. But that's just what I'd love to have found earlier. Somebody steping me through the process.

One problem I see is that this process I'm describing has a very slim audience. Regular expresions are over the top for even some very accomplished programmers, often seen as a form of voodoo. But I can't really explain those regexes in detail if the reader doesn't have a good grasp of it, I'll lose him very soon.
But then my pace might again be to basic for people more versed in parsing, so those might qui´ckly get bored.

We'll I think I'll just keep up my pace and figure this out for myself, and write it down for my own good, if nobody elses. Somebody out there might be looking for just this kind of mix.

And one thing is for sure: I'm absoluteley going insane with all thise escaped < and >
