XML Parsing

I was wondering if there was any sort of XML Parsing functionality scheduled for future versions of Processing...
For a project at work, I've been using MinML2
http://www.wilson.co.uk/xml/minml2.htm
(It's got a BSD-style license.)
I was working on a layer to make it even easier to use... adding a DOM-like query mechanism to it.
I'm just thinking that people might want to use XML files for data or something like that.
When P5 goes open source, I'll gladly add this functionality in myself. I personally would find use for it.

Maybe you can try implementing some XML parsing stuff yourself. Shouldn't be too hard, I guess, since XML is only text.

probably not.. there are lots of libraries out there, and i'm not much of an xml hacker myself, so i don't want to make my own library for it.
for now, you can use the xml stuff from java 1.4 from within the environment (at least on windows and linux which uses java 1.4), or you can drop an xml library into the 'code' folder and have it included in your project. this is probably the route we'll stick with.

if you start playing with this, will you let us know how it goes?
...maybe even a tutorial in 'how-to-do-xml-in-processing' ?

Yup. No problem.
Do you know of any 2D or 3D file formats that use XML? That seems to be the easiest way to do this...

The most famous I know are SVG and VML, both 2D vector imaging formats.

Blender.org is working towards XML version of existing .blend binary format.
