From scala.xml.pull to javax.xml.stream.events

Want to process XML that's too large to fit in memory?

The Scala standard library used to offer scala.xml.pull for this. It became part of the scala-xml library when scala-xml became separate. But then scala.xml.pull got deprecated (in scala.xml 1.1.1) and finally removed entirely (in scala-xml 2.0.0-M1). The recommended replacement is javax.xml.stream.events.

I had some old code that used scala.xml.pull to digest my iTunes Music Library.xml and print various statistics. Recently I converted it to Scala 3, so I decided to get off the deprecated API at the same time.

So, here is the before-and-after. Perhaps this will help other users of scala.xml.pull who want to convert.

Fixes with compatibility implications

Scala 2.12.9 generates shallower ASTs in pattern translation, to reduce stack size requirements (-Xss) during compilation.

Scala.js users must update to 0.6.28+ or 1.0.0-M8+ for compatibility with Scala 2.12.9. (#7375)

Highlights of 2.12.9

  • Improved compatibility with JDK 11, 12, and 13 (see below)

chaining implicit conversions in Scala 2 and Scala 3

in Scala 2, they don't chain 😇, even if we try to give the compiler an assist

can we make them chain in Dotty? 😈

let's try it!

first let's set up sbt:
