[GD-General] XML Parser

[Chris B. <Chr...@ma...>]

I've been using Expat for quite a while to parse my documents. I've now come to the point where I need to start writing data back in to my XML documents. 

I've had a quick look around but all I've managed to find is Xerces, which seems to be so massive that I'm finding it dificult to understand(besides the fact that the DLL way larger than the rest of my application).

Anyone have suggestions for a lightweight XML parser + Writer?

Many thanks

Chris

You can use the (probably embedded on your system) xml stuff from Microsoft.
Works well from me. Cost you some COM understanding, and probably intensive
memory alloc/free. But...
(btw Xerces is smarter)

If you just need to do some quick tooling, there are several XML tools
for Java that are very functional and easier than Xerces. We have used
nanoxml, which is tiny and easy to implement for simple stuff.

And I recently whipped off some useful XML tooling code in a couple of
hours using Python.

And once the thread has strayed outside the One True Language,
I should mention that the XML support in .NET is very nice and easy to use.
