Okay, this was how it looked to me last time I investigated:
Perl, Python, PHP all use the same xml parser -- expat, a
non-validating SAX parser. That, or they offer other
non-validating native implementations.
Java has JAXP, the interchangable parser, numerous validating
parsers (both SAX and DOM), strong XML support from IBM, and
more.
So when I say "comparatively thin", I mean thin compared to
Java.
