Is there a c xml parser that does not allocate any memory and just returns ptr and size in original buffer (aka token parser)?

I'm trying out libxml2 and I was trying but it does allocate every string. To me when I want to deserialize values I don't want to dup them.

  • I'm sure you are. SO, for better or worse, doesn't allow questions of the form "Please recommend a software package". See help center. My question to you was a bit too abbreviated, I'm afraid. I should have asked, "Suppose the string contains an entity. How do you expect the entity to be expanded without a memory allocation?" But you don't have to answer. It was mostly rhetorical.

  • Sorry, that was the wrong help shortcut. The one I meant to use was help center. (See #3 in the list of categories of questions which are not on-topic.) Commented Apr 12, 2022 at 15:30
