+== XML Parser ==
+
+The very first task is to choose XML parser that will be used as a foundation of the KML driver. There are many questions that have to be answered:
+ * SAX or DOM?
+ * provide XML validation for KML documents (mandatory, optional, none)?
+ * ...
+
+
+There are 3 or 4 XML parsers under our consideration:
+ * [http://expat.sourceforge.net/ Expat]
+ * [http://xml.apache.org/xerces-c/index.html Xerces]
+ * [source:trunk/gdal/port/cpl_minixml.h minixml]
+ * [http://www.xmlsoft.org/ libXML]
+
+Here is very [http://xmlbench.sourceforge.net/results/features200303/index.html detailed comparison] (made in 2003) of XML parsing libraries that may be helpful during the analysis.
