How about gSOAP  It is open source and freely available under the GPL license  Despite its name  the gSOAP toolkit is a generic XML data binding tool and allows you to bind your C and C   data to XML automatically  There is no need to use an XML parser API  just let it read write your data in XML format for you  If you really need a super-simple C   XML parser then gSOAP may be an overkill  But for everything else it has worked well as testimonials show for many industrial applications since gSOAP was introduced in 2001   Here is a brief list of features    Portable  Windows  Linux  Mac OS X  Unix  VxWorks  Symbian  Palm OS  WinCE  etc  Small footprint  73KB code and less than 2K data to implement an XML web service client app  no DOM to limit memory usage   Fast  do not believe what other tools claim  the true speed should be measured with I O  For gSOAP it is over 3000 roundtrip XML messages over TCP IP  XML parsing overhead is negligible as it is a simple linear scan of the input output while  de serialization takes place  XML support  XML schema  XSD  import export  WSDL import export  XML namespaces  XML canonicalization  XML with attachments  MIME   optional use of DOM  many options to produce XML with indentation  use UTF8 strings  etc  XML validation  partial and full  option  WS support  WS-Security  WS-ReliableMessaging  WS-Addressing  WS-Policy  WS-SecurityPolicy  and other  Debugging  integrated memory management with leak detection  logging  API  no API to learn  only  soap  engine context initialization  then use the read write interface for your data  and  soap  engine context destruction    For example   class Address      std  string name    std  vector lt LONG64 gt  number    time t date       Then run  soapcpp2  on the Address class declaration above to generate the soap read Address and soap write Address XML reader and writer  for example   Address  a   new Address    a        soap ctx   soap new    soap write Address ctx  a   soap end ctx   soap free ctx      This produces an XML representation of the Address a object  By annotating the header file declarations with XML namespace details  not shown here   the tools also generate schemas  This is a simple example  The gSOAP tools can handle a very broad range of C and C   data types  including pointer-based linked structures and even  cyclic  graphs  rather than just trees    Hope this helps

How about RapidXML  RapidXML is a very fast and small XML DOM parser written in C    It is aimed primarily at embedded environments  computer games  or any other applications where available memory or CPU processing power comes at a premium  RapidXML is licensed under Boost Software License and its source code is freely available   Features   Parsing speed  including DOM tree building  approaching speed of strlen function executed  on the same data  On a modern CPU  as of 2008  the parser throughput is about 1 billion characters per second  See Performance section in the Online Manual  Small memory footprint of the code and created DOM trees  A headers-only implementation  simplifying the integration process  Simple license that allows use for almost any purpose  both commercial and non-commercial  without any obligations  Supports UTF-8 and partially UTF-16  UTF-32 encodings  Portable source code with no dependencies other than a very small subset of C   Standard Library  This subset is so small that it can be easily emulated manually if use of standard library is undesired    Limitations   The parser ignores DOCTYPE declarations   There is no support for XML namespaces  The parser does not check for character validity  The interface of the parser does not conform to DOM specification  The parser does not check for attribute uniqueness    Source  wikipedia org   Rapidxml    Depending on you use  you may use an XML Data Binding  CodeSynthesis XSD is an XML Data Binding compiler for C   developed by Code Synthesis and dual-licensed under the GNU GPL and a proprietary license  Given an XML instance specification  XML Schema   it generates C   classes that represent the given vocabulary as well as parsing and serialization code   One of the unique features of CodeSynthesis XSD is its support for two different XML Schema to C   mappings  in-memory C   Tree and stream-oriented C   Parser  The C   Tree mapping is a traditional mapping with a tree-like  in-memory data structure  C   Parser is a new  SAX-like mapping which represents the information stored in XML instance documents as a hierarchy of vocabulary-specific parsing events  In comparison to C   Tree  the C   Parser mapping allows one to handle large XML documents that would not fit in memory  perform stream-oriented processing  or use an existing in-memory representation   Source  wikipedia org   CodeSynthesis XSD
