Forwarding this to the list ... Jean-Marc corrected my comment about SAX working with streams ... thank you.
Yes, but a lot of C parser aren't free/open... I know some, most known is Expat... But, to work, it have to get the = whole file/string, even if it does a sax-based parsing... take a look at the parser which is aprt of the gnome project...http://xmlsoft.org/ just my 0.02 ;) regards, Jean-Marc LE TOUX - aka Peace
I know there are several free parsers for Java, perl has an expat wrapper + at least one other that is all perl ... but I mistakenly thought they parsed the stream as it happened and didn't check for well-formedness first by parsing the whole document ... maybe there is a switch to turn the well-formedness check off .. I will check it out with perl. Slightly off-topic but related to the external API question :) ... the XML output format is definitely the way to go with reading from nmap via a pipe as far as stability is concerned ... but I really like being able to report events to whatever API is used to wrap them in real-time ... as nmap scans can take a significant period of time to finish.
