Re: [computer-go] SGF parsers

Mark,

There is a Java library for high performance in parsing XML (ideal for Java on realtime systems). 
Here is the link to the site:
http://javolution.org/

The XML parser is very well written, very fast and FOSS/GPL.  I think it will be useful in what
you are trying to do.
