Lately I've been told at work to use a library in C. Most calls have
the signature
ErrorType function(const char *xml);
I have to pass to them xmls of more than two levels deep, attributes,
and around ten elements.
When I asked why such interface to a library, claiming that it was
uncomfortable to me, the lib developer told me that in fact
xml-parameter-passing was one of the techniques he liked most, and
helped him solve a lot of problems easily.
