[antlr-interest] Re: XML parsing

[Oliver Zeigermann]

I have implemented a framework of what you describe:

http://www.zeigermann.de/xpa/index.html

It allows you to feed XML SAX events into ANTLR parsers as token 
streams. Optionally, if you do not care for space, you can create an 
AST from a SAX parser and transform it using ANTLR tree parsers.
