[libxml-devel] Guaranteed non-crashing way to load an XML document?

[Saurabh Nanda]

I have a long running RESTful web service that  needs to read XML
documents from HTTP content bodies. I've noticed lots of instances
where it has randomly crashed due to an error in libxml.

I came across the following post while digging for some clues:
http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/libxml-devel/2007-November/000586.html

Is there a preferred (guaranteed to not crash) way of parsing XML
strings in libxml? Here's what I'm doing:

    parser=XML::Parser.new
    parser.string= content
    xml = parser.parse

Is there a better way? I've attaced the error log, just in case it helps.

Saurabh.
