If performance is even relatively important use xmlhtml because it uses Text instead of String. If you want a simple, light weight library and performance doesn't matter then you will be fine using xml. If you need position information or XML features not offered by xmlhtml, xml-conduit.

-
Both parsers are written to parse document fragments, not complete documents
-

Streaming parsing, but has a useful non-streaming interface as well. Uses Text and ByteString.
-
Can parse entity references, including entities defined in the internal subset, as well as leaving entity references unresolved in the document for your code to handle itself.
-
Uses
Text. -
The streaming interface provides position information.

Uses xml-types for its unresolved-entity types. In theory this allows inter-operation, but nothing else seems to buy into xml-types, and the easier-out-of-the-box resolved-entity interface is defined by xml-conduit.
