With consideration to the simplicity of the file, I'm confident that I

SAX. It clearly is the best choice for your requirements: fewest dependencies and lowest possible memory overhead. Nothing else comes close. The tradeoff is that it will take you longer to write the code. Nothing comes for free. :-)
