XML is sent by gdbserver to GDB when it communicates large bits of
information like register layout and thread lists.<br>
Since the aim is to increase compatibility with gdbserver, this isnt
something we can change.<br>
<br>
Yeah, I believe writing an robust XML parser will be non trivial an
not justifiable in terms of time. Like the others have<br>
said since libxml2 is already used in other parts of the LLVM
project, it doesn't make sense to buck this trend.<br>

<div>May be this is a stupid question, are there reasons
that lldb needs to use xml format ? Can it switch to
using YAML ?<br>
<br>
If not, may be having a XML parser like a YAML parser
would be useful inside of LLVM ??<br>

<div>My (possibly uninformed) understanding is that XML is
way more complicated than YAML, and it's better to take an
external dependency than try to reinvent the wheel. YAML
and JSON on the other hand are super simple, so it's
better to roll our own.</div>
