Best regards, Ahmed Hi there,

For XML parsing, you can try erlsom, which I found to be faster, produce smaller output and has a better implementation for SAX.

You might want to try the erlsom XML library. I found it's SAX interface to be what I was used to seeing coming from a Java/Python background. Also, you might want to try running the string you're about to parse through xmerl_ucs:to_utf8/1 before parsing it. That cleaned up a bunch of problems I was having dealing with non-ASCII chars. Now, if there was a way to parse XML files without having to read them all in memory at once, I'd be golden.
