EMx 038: Slax and SAX Parsers with Ben Schmeckpeper
Charles would expressed how in this episode they had a good time learning about “SAX parsers and about some of the issues with migrating and sharing space between systems.” They discussed the benefits of using SAX (Simple API for XML). One of these benefits is that of being event based. Elixir and Ruby are also discussed, with a greater focus on Elixir. One benefits of using Elixir is that of pattern matching. Lots is also shared on “containers” and the pros and cons of these.
