Memory leak for large string attribute values #18

Description

@chrisdruta

Just a heads up for anyone else - I believe I observed a memory leak from this package. After swapping the library to another (e.g. fast-xml-parser), the problem seems to have gone away.

Believe the leak is coming from the write function in the sax parser, as the other [issue 5] points out its locked to a rather old version.

Repro that expands rather quickly from my testing (harness looping reading the xml string):

  • xml file with not too many tags
  • one of the tags has an attribute that is a super long string (ballpark of 15 - 25mb)
  • has arrays option defined containing above tag

Should see the heap memory go up and up vs others libraries properly freeing when necessary
