I'm not sure, but it appears that std.xml uses exceptions for control flow. I use VisualD for development, and Visual Studio has been configured to break on exceptions. This means that every time a new DocumentParser is created with valid XML, the debugger explodes because of the thrown exceptions.

Am I doing something wrong, or shall I create a change request?

The std.xml module will be getting replaced. So I can't really recommend making a change request, if this is the case.

Possible alternative:

https://code.launchpad.net/d2-xml

Thanks. I've been trying to get D2-XML to compile for a few hours now without much luck, so that one is out. Does anyone know another good replacement?

Also, why replace std.xml? As far as I can tell it works fine, except for the thrown exceptions.

The one in Tango is supposed to be pretty good (and *very* fast). Since Tango now works on D2 side-by-side with Phobos, that may be an option.

A lot of people have had a lot of probelms with it (though I've never tried it myself).

For performance reasons.

Tango doesn't work with the latest DMD. Thanks for the suggestion though, I think I'll take another look at it if it gets updated.

For now I'll keep using std.xml. The application only reads xml files during initialization, so it's mostly a convenience issue.

I just cloned the repoistory and it, at least, compiles with DMD 2.059.

I had to do a quick-and-dirty tool in a limited time frame and using kxml was much easier than std.xml.
