"AsmXml is a very fast XML parser and decoder for x86 platforms. It achieves high speed by using the following features: Written in pure assembler; Optimized memory access; Parsing and decoding at the same time ¶ ...This parser is intended for applications that need intensive processing of XML. This project will likely appeal you if XML parsing is a bottleneck in your data-flow. For instance, it is well suited for bulk loads into databases. ¶ This is not an all-purpose library, it is not designed to be used with DOM, SAX, XPath and so on. Here, XML is just considered as an interchange format, not as a working format: the aim of this library is to load quickly an XML document into a C structure."
