XML parsing besides SAX and DOM

[Andrew Dalke]

Hello,

  I've been doing XML processing of a record-oriented
data set where in a record:

  - the data isn't deep (pretty much flat)
  - all the text is used from between the start and end tags
  - the text is short (easily fits into memory)

I developed another XML API to simplify this case, and I'm
curious about other similar systems (eg, I may want to
scrap my work).  I know about SAX and DOM and about RAX.
What others are there?

For full details about what I'm doing, see

Short version is I wrote an adapter from the SAX ContentHandler
to my callback-based API, then an implementation which
stores the callback events in a dictionary for random
access.
