title: Why is it such a bad idea to parse XML with regex?
body: <p>I was just reviewing a previous post I made and noticed a number of people suggesting that I don't use Regex to parse xml. In that case the xml was relatively simple, and Regex didn't pose any problems. I was also parsing a number of other code formats, so for the sake of uniformity it made sense. But I'm curious how this might pose a problem in other cases. Is this just a 'don't reinvent the wheel' type of issue? </p>
