XML Parser Used.

[bd82]

Hello.

I see this project is using SAX to parse XML and then perform additional logic on the tags output stream.

• https://github.com/rogalmic/vscode-xml-complete/tree/master/src/helpers

Does SAX provide full parsing capabilities for the use case of building editor services?

The reason I am asking is because I've implemented a Parser building library in JS:

• https://github.com/SAP/chevrotain

Which provides editor related infrastructure capabilities:

• Fault Tolerance / Error Recovery (Does not stop on the first error).
• Full syntax information collection (e.g location of closing tags).
• Syntactic Content Assist
• Multiple start rules.
• ...

There is also an XML grammar example:

• https://github.com/SAP/chevrotain/tree/master/examples/grammars/xml
• This example may not be productive quality.

Feel free to contact me if this is of interest to you.

Cheers. Shahar.

Actually, SAX is very low level, which i was looking for at the time. The purpose of this extension is to have basic XML functionality (tag complete, linter, format) with small dependency list (I was not able to find such extension for vscode).

I will check this Chevrotain, for now keeping this open.
