Feature #9371: Remove NQXML from xmlrpc/parser

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: -

[herwinw (Herwin Quarantainenet)]

In lib/xmlrpc/parser.rb a number of parsing backends exist. One of them uses the library nqxml. There is no gem for this library, the sourceforge page shows this library hasn't been updated for almost 12 years, and the official page has the following line on the main page: "Ruby 1.8 now ships with REXML, an excellent XML parser for Ruby by Sean Russell. It includes XPath support. You should probably use that instead of NQXML."

I think it would be better if support for NQXML would be dropped from the libraries.
