Why did ez choose to implement their own XML parser?

We used to use libxml. But this parser had severe memory leaks at the time and was not working in a production environment. It also had a hard time parsing some very valid XML files.

We then made an extension to PHP for supporting the QT, qdom, C++ XML parser. This worked well, however people had a hard time installing this.

So to make eZ publish simpler to install we made an XML parser which is bundled with eZ publish.
