libxml2 is not a requirement to build Wireshark, nor is it even an
option.
because I'm not familiar with flex/bison or lex/yacc. But if there's
some specific reason flex/bison should be used, I can go learn how to
use them.
Is there a reason for using flex/bison for that?
Probably historical - it's been around since before XML was thought up:)
There may be other reasons that I'm not aware of though.
If I remember correctly long time ago we had an xml stub(for diameter)
using libxml but there was a question about the licence not being GPL
compatible. GLIB's xml parser would be an option but you'll have to use
GLIB_CHECK_VERSION as it's not available in the lowest version we
require I think.
