Question

I am looking for a simple  clean  correct XML parser to use in my C   project  Should I write my own

try this one  http   www applied-mathematics net tools xmlParser html it s easier and faster than RapidXML or PUGXML  TinyXML is the worst of the  simple parser

TiCPP is a  more c    version of TinyXML       TiCPP  is short for the official name TinyXML    It is a completely new interface to TinyXML  http   www grinninglizard com tinyxml   that uses MANY of the C   strengths  Templates  exceptions  and much better error handling  It is also fully documented in doxygen  It is really cool because this version let s you interface tiny the exact same way as before or you can choose to use the new  ticpp  classes  All you need to do is define TIXML USE TICPP  It has been tested in VC 6 0  VC 7 0  VC 7 1  VC 8 0  MinGW gcc 3 4 5  and in Linux GNU gcc 3

Do not use TinyXML if you re concerned about efficiency memory management  it tends to allocate lots of tiny blocks   My personal favourite is RapidXML

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
