We have occasional battles here about the wisdom of using non-XML-parser-based tools to process XML, and regular expressions always seem to come up. I've got a reader question that sort of ties into a (non-regex-based) Java project I'm working on, about the viability of regex and other text-based processing for XML work. Has anyone written a generic XML parser, even a somewhat broken one, that's built on regular expressions? I remember hearing of something a long while ago, but I can't find it. I'm not concerned with the efficiency/viability/profitability/wisdom of such a solution, just whether or not it's been done - especially if it's available open source.
