A recommendation on which testing module to use? I have found OUnit to be fairly natural. I haven't used it much, but it was easy to pick up having had some exposure to JUnit, py.test, and a Lisp test framework or two. > 3) Is there consensus on the best/fastest xml parser? I've quite enjoyed Xmlm. It is an event-based pull parser, where you set up an event stream and then ask it for each event in turn. By far the easiest XML parsing paradigm I've used (short of tree querying systems such as XPath or LINQ); pattern matching over events results in simpler code than the inversion-of-control usage in a SAX or expat parser. =2D Michael =2D-=20 mouse, n: A device for pointing at the xterm in which you want to type. Confused by the strange files? I cryptographically sign my messages.
