Bob,

I haven't use the XML libraries but I believe you could obtain the ReadStream from the String by sending #readStream which is understood by all SequenceableCollection subclasses.

XMLDOMParser parseDocumentFrom: '<root><child>wah</child></root>' readStream

You can also construct the ReadStream yourself from the String.

XMLDOMParser parseDocumentFrom: (ReadStream on: '<root><child>wah</child></root>')

In my image XMLDocument doesn't understand #parseDocumentFrom do I've used XMLDOMParser but I'm sure you get the picture.

I think TextStream is used for something completely different and is not needed here. I hope I've understood your question.

Is there a way to make an XMLDocument from a string? I want to do something like this

XMLDocument new parseDocumentFrom: '<root><child>wah</child></root>'

but #parseDocumentFrom: takes a stream as an argument.
