parsing xml from a buffer

[Ryan Koss <rk...@acmepacket.com>]

Hi all,

I am new to the list so sorry if I am asking a question that has already
been answered but I can only look at the messages that have been sent in
Feburary for an answer and I didn't find anything.

So here it goes.  I have a xml document that is in a buffer that is being
passed around from server to server I am wondering if I can just parse the
buffer directly or do I have to write the buffer out to a file and then
parse that file?  All parsing methods that I have seen only do the parsing
from a file.  Thanks in advance for any help
