Features omitted are: + +- Support for user-defined entities +- Support for UTF-16 inputs or a UTF-8 BOM +- Any considerations for the "Namespaces in XML 1.0" specification + +Attempting to parse an input file which does not conform to the supported subset +of XML will return a syntax error. The purpose of this module is to support most +XML files found in the wild, without supporting the lesser-used features that +lead to problems like "billion laughs" vulnerabilities. If a fully conformant +XML parser is required for your application, you will need to use a third-party +XML implementation. Such an implementation should be able to shadow the standard +library version and present a compatible API. + +The API of this module is compatible with format::xml. |
