Want to process XML that's too large to fit in memory?
The Scala standard library used to offer scala.xml.pull
for this. It became part of the scala-xml library when scala-xml became separate. But then scala.xml.pull
got deprecated (in scala.xml 1.1.1) and finally removed entirely (in scala-xml 2.0.0-M1). The recommended replacement is javax.xml.stream.events
.
I had some old code that used scala.xml.pull
to digest my iTunes Music Library.xml
and print various statistics. Recently I converted it to Scala 3, so I decided to get off the deprecated API at the same time.
So, here is the before-and-after. Perhaps this will help other users of scala.xml.pull
who want to convert.
