Re:ZA̡͊͠͝LGΌ causes "Invalid MD5 checksum on messages" by dragonwriter on Saturday May 08, 2021 @05:24PM (#27090843)
There might be a few narrow cases where using regex to parse XML/HTML might make sense, but even in majority of the cases where it might conceivably work it doesn’t make sense because XML/HTML parsing libraries exist and the time and effort you spend building, debugging, and maintaining your brittle, limited, ad hoc parser is still wasted effort that increases both the time to deliver and maintenance cost of the project it is part of.
