       Well shit…  :blobcatdied: Just had an interview where they asked me to build some small app that would allow for uploading and parsing of an #XML file.Waisted so much time trying to use a third party library for the xml parsing. Never used XML before and probably should’ve just used a #Regex.

       @asteroidrainfall No, you did the right thing initially.  Writing a general parser for recursive syntaxes like XML is impossible, you need to use a proper XML library.
