Oh I doubt it. I dont think anyone's ever used c++ to read xml files, let alone written a library for it. Google will surely vindicate me.. :-\

MSXML and tinyXML are two options for you.

I use Expat to read XML files. See http://www.libexpat.org/. I use to this to read Excel XLSX files once they are unzipped with the zlib library.

We build our own library on top of MSXML (painful). Now, I'm trying to push http://pugixml.org/[^] for our XML need; I've used it for relatively small and not too complex XML files and it works great.

I'd rather be phishing!
