I've just released gosax, a new Go library for high-performance SAX (Simple API for XML) parsing. It's designed for efficient, memory-conscious XML processing, drawing inspiration from quick-xml and pkg/json. https://github.com/orisano/gosax Key features:

- Read-only SAX parsing - Highly efficient parsing using techniques inspired by quick-xml and pkg/json - SWAR (SIMD Within A Register) optimizations for fast text processing

gosax is particularly useful for processing large XML files or streams without loading the entire document into memory. It's well-suited for data feeds, large configuration files, or any scenario where XML parsing speed is crucial. I'd appreciate any feedback, especially from those working with large-scale XML processing in Go. What are your current pain points with XML parsing? How could gosax potentially help your projects?
