XML Question

[Andre Garzia]

David,

Not only Kens XML Lib can handle those, but it also comes with RSS routines :-D

stsXMLLib is slower than revXML, but it can handle namespaces and
unicoded content, so I think it's a good option for parsing ATOM
Feeds.

Cheers
andre
PS: who is secretly working on some atom routines too
