Scala parser combinators parsing xml?

Question

Can scala's parser combinators parse xml and validate that the closing tags have the same name as the opening tags? I don't directly need it, but I would like to know the limits of my libraries.

I'm not shure but i believe the scala.xml Library checks also the closing tags. — Fabian

Yes, it can do that. Use into or >> (which is the same thing, really) to parameterize a latter parser based on a parsed value.

This document seem to describe an attempt on that: http://www.berniepope.id.au/docs/scala_parser_combinators.pdf

... and a link to the software (Scala XML-parser): http://www.berniepope.id.au/software.html

Part of the idea was that the parser would validate the end tags, which it doesn't.

Dead links for the software as of this writing.

You might also be interested in XML pickler combinators, part of the GData Scala client library. I've pulled out the pickler combinators and made them available in a self-contained library here.
