Declarative Parsing of XML in Elixir (with Metaprogramming Magic)

Elixir Language Milano's November meetup is a single technical talk on turning XML into Elixir structs without hand-writing a parser. The walk-through covers sassone, a library that generates a SAX parser from a simple declarative API and maps documents straight into structs such as Ecto schemas. It isn't a toy example: sassone runs in production every day against millions of Italian electronic invoices, so the session doubles as a case study in using metaprogramming to make a messy, high-volume parsing problem simple and fast. It's at Fluida, Via Carlo Imbonati 18, from 19:00, doors from 18:30. Free, RSVP on Meetup, and you give your name on arrival to get into the building. Why go: a specific, production-grade look at Elixir metaprogramming, not a beginner intro. Best for Elixir and BEAM developers who deal with XML, parsing or data pipelines.
