Hi,

I suck at writing parsers, but wrote one:
        https://git.codemadness.org/xmlparser/file/README.html

It is a non-compliant non-strict parser that also parses a subset of HTML.

Some examples/projects I use it for:

RSS/Atom parser:
        https://git.codemadness.org/sfeed/file/README.html

Twitter to text scraper:
        https://git.codemadness.org/tscrape/file/README.html

OpenStreetMap parser (20GB+ XML file of the Netherlands):
        https://git.codemadness.org/osm-zipcodes/file/README.html

HTML <title> grabber:
        https://git.codemadness.org/grabtitle/file/README.html


It doesn't have to be said but ofcourse XML sucks :)
