Port the XML Parser module to D7

Awesome, thanks for kicking this off! =)

Unfortunately this patch doesn't work to me: I can't implement it because of patch process issues (6 out of 6 hunks FAILED). So, I moved changes manually and added some more changes.
Result is in attach.

I'm not sure if this is still a valid project. Feeds is so much more flexible these days, this module used to provide a set of custom tools for complex and non-standard XML formats that the old Feeds API didn't handle, but I think the Feeds module can probably do that anyway now.

Not sure if it's worth making a D7 XML Parser version. Will investigate.

I think I kind of agree. I'm using Feeds + XPath for XML parsing. It works fairly well and while there are a few features that need to be fixed (most relate to the shaky versions of Date/Location/Ctools that are ever evolving), it pretty much does the job.

Ok, so for now I'm going to close this - I've updated the project page. If someone discovers a compelling reason - something this module did in D6 that D7 equivalents cannot handle - I'm open to re-considering.

Hi Greg,

The main problem which I found in D7 is that I can't parse file/string into array with one function. It's much easier to use this module then write almost the same code again. Therefore I prefer to use functions of this module when I work with SOAP.

Version for D7 works well for me so far. I guess it could be good to commit version for D7 into repository to have it not only in attached ZIP file.

Here is the tarball version of xml_parser.zip. In my case, I didn't have unzip installed on the server and the sysadmin wasn't available to install the package.
