There are a couple of Java-Parsers, but I guess you meant a port for the VP.
Anyway, you don't need a DOM-Parser. For simple config-files an event-driven
parser might be sufficient. That way you'll have minimal memory overhead.
And if things could be done with a non-validating parser, building an
XML-parser for Ami would be quite simple.
Bye,
Robbie.
