Re: XML::LibXML::Reader - wish it had a Simplify function...

I can see a few ways to do this:

stringify your XML fragment and feed it to XML::Simple,
emit SAX elements from your fragments and have XML::Simple read them,
use XML::Twig and use the simplify method on fragments
"port" XML::Simple to XML::LibXML. That's what I did for XML::Twig and it is about 200 lines of code

I am not sure that this would solve the problem of "XML that was too big to bring into memory that way.".	[reply]
