Open Source Linux XML Parsers

TinyXML is a simple, small, minimal, C++ XML parser that can be easily integrating into other programs. It reads XML and creates C++ objects representing the XML document. The objects can be manipulated, changed, and saved again as XML. *Please Note* that TinyXML development has stopped and all development has moved to TinyXML-2. TinyXML-2 is available at https://github.com/leethomason/tinyxml2

RapidXml is an attempt to create the fastest XML parser possible, while retaining useability, portability and reasonable W3C compatibility. It is an in-situ parser with parsing speed approaching speed of strlen function executed on the same data.

PLEASE NOTE that we are in the process of moving to GitHub: https://github.com/libexpat/libexpat This is James Clark's Expat XML parser library in C. It is a stream oriented parser that requires setting handlers to deal with the structure that the parser discovers in the document.

An XML parser C library that's simple and easy to use. Inspired by simpleXML for PHP.

Instigate XML Parser is a wrapper library around various XML parsing front-ends. It provides single API and ability to switch between supported front-ends without modifying the client code.

VTD-XML is the next generation XML parser/indexer/editor/slicer/assembler/xpath-engine that goes beyond DOM, SAX and PULL in performance, memory usage, and ease of use.

Piccolo is the fastest SAX parser for Java, supporting SAX1, SAX2, and JAXP (SAX only). Piccolo is different from other parsers in that it was developed using parser generators. It weighs 160K including XML APIs. See http://piccolo.sf.net for more info.

xmlpp is an non-validating XML Parser. It is written entirely in C++ and uses only the STL for dynamic data structures. xmlpp is very small, fast and easy to use and is suited for embedded applications or even just for configfiles.

An XML External Entity attack is a type of attack against an application that parses XML input. This attack occurs when XML input containing a reference to an external entity is processed by a weakly configured XML parser. This attack may lead to the disclosure of confidential data, denial of service, port scanning from the perspective of the machine where the parser is located. This zipped Ubuntu VM is set up as a Capture the Flag with those that successfully exploit the XXE vulnerability able to place their name on a leaderboard. As with other challenges in the OWASP Vicnum project the overall purpose is to have fun and generate interest in the topic. This challenge was used in an OWASP APPSEC 'Breaking Bad' event.

NunniMCAX is a minimal (19KB) C library for parsing XML. The API recall SAX and is sequential and event-driven. The parser strives to verify that the XML is well-formed, but no validation. NunniMCAX's FSM has been generated using NunniFSMGen

The simple XML parser is a tiny parser for a subset of XML (everything except entities and namespaces). It uses a simple "one-handler per tag" interface and is suited for use with devices with limited resources.

EDIReader parses EDI input from ANSI X12 and EDIFACT, including documents for HIPAA compliance. It supports Java JAXP/SAX XML interfaces with a custom implementation of an "XML" parser, allowing access to EDI data with XML tools.

A small Objective-C library which provides a SAX-like object-oriented interface to the Expat XML parser library.

An efficient little program to simply parse XML files to find contents of different sets of tags, whichever you please. Can also return a list of all the XML tags in relation to their content.

Minimal XML parser to constructing stuctured WEB systems.

A fast, useful subset of XSLT implemented using (and intended for use in conjunction with) the Electric XML parser from The Mind Electric.

C++DOM is a C++ implementation of DOM Core. It is built it on top of expat (XML parser in C, by James Clark).

Advanced PHP library to pase xml documents to array with many advanced options.

A tiny, compact XML Parser written in Java that is less than 6K in size when compiled using JDK 1.3, that can be used in either a J2SE or J2ME envioronment.

AsmXml is a very fast XML parser library for x86 platforms written in pure assembler.

Anthony's XML library for C++ (Axemill) is a 100% conformant, validating XML parser, written in C++.

XML::Bare - Minimal Perl XML parser implemented via a C++ state engine

Annotate your POJOs to create a fully-functional application, with table support, collection filters, and persistence hooks.

A POS tagger. An XML parser and a dictionary - Corresponding to Sanskrit language.

The Colibri Widgets are based on curses (pure C with OO facilities). The integrated xml parser should make it easy to develop your own curses application.
