I've used xmlparser, "a lightweight C++ library for parsing xml files", which was indeed fast and lightweight.

someone would need to port it to D though, but shouldn't be too hard as the library is indeed small.

Which can you recommend?

I use ae's lite xml library:

It's not a monster but thanks to UFCS I can easily extend it to do
what I want. For some trivial xml parsing which I needed it was great
(OTOH std.xml is a segfaulting monster).
