I think a PIC based XML parser would certainly be a very daunting task.
String manipulation is not one of the things I consider a PIC does well and
then there's the memory and stack issues. I think you would proabably be better
of trying this with a chip that has a more flexible RAM configuration and
I think a stack would also be useful. Out of interest, what were you thinking
of doing with XML?
