JuliaCon 2020 | Creating an XML parser from scratch | Erik Engheim
By utilizing channels and coroutines in Julia we can create a simple lexer and parser quickly in Julia. In this example we will be building an XML parser from scratch. Focus is on simplicity rather than performance.
Many Julia XML packages wrap complex C++ parsers. This create annoying dependencies and are hard to debug. However Julia is a very nice language to hand code lexers and parsers from scratch. Here we will show how surprisingly easy it is to create a parser for XML and Apple's PList format. We will utilize channels and coroutines to simplify our design. TimeStamps:
