[jira] Commented: (XMLRPC-60) MinML is Evil

    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XMLRPC-60?page=comments#action_12313003 ] 

Daniel Rall commented on XMLRPC-60:
-----------------------------------

I'd be okay with an enhancement which defaults to a SAX2-compliant parser when available, but this isn't always the case.  MinML is a good fallback for those situations (e.g. applets).

> MinML is not an XML parser, It does not correctly implement the XML specification in a variety of ways. It should not be bundled and should not be used. Given that Java 1.4 now includes a much more conformant parser (and Java 1.5 includes an even better one) there's no excuse for distributing a non-conformant parser like MinML. XML-RPC is XML, and nothing less than a real XML parser can handle it correctly.
