nestable C/C++ XML parser?

There is clearly a need for this although IMHO the demand
for it will not be large until complexity of XML data grows
significantly.

Event-based API, like SAX, is reactive opposed to active
APIs like Java's StringTokenizer.  I found that reactive
systems dealing with complex data/event stream tend to
get bogged down with state management which increases
maintenance cost significantly.  Extensibility of XML
will works against you unless you know what you are doing.

Active/reactive designs, reactive at high level and active
at low level, are more suited to handling complex XML data.
