I took a quick look at the code you posted from this tool.
In my opinion this code is completely and catastrophically
broken.
If it does all you listed, then I agree that it is a poorly made parser.
4) It gives different output of equivalent files:
Example:
<xml>v<b>v</xml>
And
<xml>v<b>v
</xml>
I thought that these files were considered different unless specified by
the schema that whitespaces were insignificant.
The use of a regexp based XML parser is well known
to be a fundamentally wrong approach.
How difficult would it be to link to expat or xerces for this?
