types of encoding in xml UTF-8 works with "strange" characters (like UTF-16), most other encodings don't work with arbitrary "strange" characters. The only difference between UTF-8 and UTF-16 is the multiple of bits used. There are some characters that can be expressed in two bytes by UTF-16 and 3 by UTF-8. |

Code reuse: Reusing complex method vs. cherry-picking parts If they are that dissimilar, probably you would indeed have to rewrite the entire parser part. Depending on the output format, you could reuse an in memory representation of your output (if it isn't worth it you wouldn't) |

Is premature optimization really the root of all evil? This is certainly correct. I guess that premature optimization is when code is made more complex / hard to understand for unclear benefits, in a way that has only local impact (design has global impact). |

Is premature optimization really the root of all evil? The code introduces further complexity, and will likely not be universally used. Backing it (and similar things) out keeps the code clean. |
