+XML 1.0 / 1.1 parser
+
+A from-scratch XML implementation, loosely modelled on the [[ spec; https://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xml11-20060816 ]].
+
+Features:
+- Supports enough of the XML 1.0/1.1 spec to handle the 99.9% of XML documents in common current usage.
+- Simple to understand and use. Small.
+
+Caveats:
+- We do NOT support HTML in this package, as that may or may not be valid XML.
+ If it works, great. If it doesn't, that's not considered a bug.
+
+- We do NOT support UTF-16. If you have a UTF-16 XML file, please convert it to UTF-8 first. Also, our condolences.
+- <[!ELEMENT and <[!ATTLIST are not supported, and will be either ignored or return an error depending on the parser options.
+
+MAYBE:
+- XML writer?
+- Serialize/deserialize Odin types?
+
+For a full example, see: [[ core/encoding/xml/example; https://github.com/odin-lang/Odin/tree/master/core/encoding/xml/example ]]
