The code is agnostic to the XML parser. It can work with any
stream-based parser (expat and PXP are supported), and build a custom
internal representation with basic access functions.

CDuce is a research project, but a quite stable one. The standalone
version is used by some companies in production. But of course, this is
no long-term guaranty of support. The OCaml+CDuce project is very new. I
cannot say anything about its future right now.
