Various people have offered to work on them, but none has yet
appeared.  It should be simple to build a fairly-good SAX driver on
top of EXPAT.

There may well be technically-superior event-based APIs for your
particular work; the greatest advantage of SAX is simply that it's
widely implemented, and thus benefits from the basic law of networking
(the usefulness of a network is the square of its number of users).

That said, the advantage does not yet extend to C++, since I know of
no SAX implementations there.


All the best,


David
