THIS PR IS NOT READY TO BE MERGED - IT IS A PoC
As mentioned last year (#748 (comment)), I believe we should consider replacing
saxwithsaxes. Here are my main motivating reasons:saxhas not been maitained in close to 3 yearssaxesuses ES6 and modern streams, which should enable us to use async iterators, which a) massively simplifies the code responsible for the stream control logic and b) handles backpressure for us, which could mean we might be able to drop our custom flow control implementationsaxesis faster thansaxThis PR is a work in progress right now and cannot be merged until
saxesv5 is officially released. It also requires that we replace uglify with terser to handle the ES6 code thatsaxespublishes.Looking forward to your feedback!
