I have recently come across some odd bugs, and some half fixes for them.
(BTW, Thanks for letting me know hes working on it, hopefully, it will
release very soon)

I noticed that when returning a struct, the last key and value is lost.  The
parser is somehow loosing it.

I made a small change in TSimpleParser.StripTag() which somehow fixes some
of the problems dealing with structs.  I am not sure if it will help you or
not ...

Comment out the line that says:
sTemp := StringReplace(sTemp,'>','',[rfReplaceAll]);

Let me know if you hear anything back.
