If others haven't already told you, don't bother reinventing the wheel. There are already literally dozens of XML parsers now available for a variety of languages and platforms. Do you require a validating or non-validating parser? As far as cross-platform parsers go, there are the many Java-based parsers. I have written a couple of parsers for the Tcl scripting language (itself a cross-platform environment) which many different people are using in many ways. Firstly, there's TclExpat - a wrapper for James Clark's expat XML parser. Also there's TclXML, a XML parser written entirely in Tcl - slow, but some people seem to like it %-} Both of these are Open Source and may be (and are) used in commercial apps.
