This XMLStreamParser has come up a couple of times recently (the conformance tests, now in the new release of xml-rpc for Ruby). The description of this release of xml-rpc says that XMLStreamParser is faster than the expat version. Can anyone comment on this? (like how much faster?) I cannot seem to locate this parser. A search on Google "XMLStreamParser ruby" is not helpful. I located a couple of references to it yesterday but they didn't help. Can anyone help?
