[lxml-dev] requesting lxml testimonials?

Hi there, With Stefan, I really like reading lxml testimonials. Though lxml is now in many ways far more his than mine, it's still also my baby and I'm a happy user and quite proud. My testimonial won't count for much though. :) It looked like Stefan was interested in collecting testimonials to link to from the lxml pages. Perhaps we can expand this and get some quotes to put on the website. I think that would be a good idea - lxml should be considered by anyone who needs a good XML library with Python, and a few happy quotes by users might make them feel more confident about it. What do you think about making this a little project, Stefan? Anyone else wants to give a testimonial, together with permission for its use? Regards, Martijn

Hi Martijn, nice to read you again. :) Martijn Faassen wrote:

Anyway, I hope that people will start bugging me why their own link is missing. ;) But I agree, there should be some quotes on the web site also, and maybe even the FAQ entry should be placed (or referenced) more prominently...

I used lxml in multiple projects already. Most notably I used lxml to build the free RML implementation z3c.rml. Compared to other XML parsing libraries, lxml did not get in the way and the performance speaks for itself. Oh, and did I mention XPath support yet? It is by far my most favorite feature and I use it all the time in analyzing zope.testbrowser HTML results. lxml takes all the pain out of XML.

I started using lxml heavily for an internal project involving resolving relaxng schemas and validating financial instruments and I'm really, really happy to have it in my toolbox. The great thing about it is you can do pretty much anything with an intuitive API. Heavy XPath queries, transformations, HTML parsing. It's definitely a wonder library. I really makes XML bearable as Stephan said :-) -- Lawrence, stacktrace.it - oluyede.org - neropercaso.it "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on not understanding it" - Upton Sinclair
