What I mean by 'seamless' is really, truly, that. Like dofile( "mydata.xml" ) and getting a Lua table returned. Hmm.. anyone up for it?

Instead of fighting the XML world, I think it'd be best for Lua to be recognized as an "integrates well with XML" product. I mean, reading in XML _seamlessly_ into Lua tables, and output, too.

I will be needing this shortly, since working with XML in C is .. tedious. Anyone care to promote their favorite XML binding, I'll be listening. :)

Looks like there is a Expat binding:

SAX if rather low level, but perhaps that would work for you?
