A modification of that self-same little parser lives in penlight:
> pretty.dump(xml.basic_parse("<hello a='1'>bonzo</hello>"))
{
"bonzo",
attr = {
a = "1"
},
tag = "hello"
}
This is the so-called LOM (Lua Object Model) format
(http://matthewwild.co.uk/projects/luaexpat/lom.html)
Incidentally, pl.xml was based on Prosody's stanza.lua
The nice thing about these styles of representation, of course, is
that looping from 1 to #t gives you the children. (Note: I still
believe in #)
