Show HN: Xmloxide – an agent made rust replacement for libxml2

🚀 Xmloxide Revolution: Xmloxide is a memory-safe Rust replacement for the widely used but unmaintained libxml2 library, designed for parsing, creating, and manipulating XML and HTML documents, offering similar performance and better serialization, with a compatible C API for seamless integration. This agent-made reproduction, created in just a few days, highlights the potential for coding agents to quickly iterate and solve the legacy code problem, making rewrites easier and reducing maintenance workload.
