| It could be worse. Our software has at least 7 different lex/yacc parsers in it for various file formats, most of which have slightly underspecced syntax and vastly underspecced semantics. XML would by comparison be a blessing: one, and only one parser, from which data can be extracted easily by OO code. The files would be huge, but the existing formats aren't all that great sizewise. |
