XML lib?

[Ralph Wetzel]

Try TinyXML ... easy & good & free! std::string or CString, no MFC dependencies ... small ... what else do you need ? You can find it here![^] Greetings, Ralph

From the MS site redistribution is fairly clear. MSXML Download and redist[^] you have several options Instructions There are four options for downloading MSXML 4.0 Service Pack 2 (SP2): Use msxml.msi to install MSXML 4.0 SP2 and the SDK on your computer. You may also save msxml.msi to your local disk to install later. The MSXML 4.0 SP2 SDK is not installed by default. You must select the custom install option to install the SDK. Use msxmlsdk.exe to download the redistributable merge module xmlsdk4.msm to distribute with your setup application. Include msxml4sxs32.msm and msxm4sys32.msm in your msi installer. To get these files run msxml4msms.exe. For more information about packaging these msm files, see the release notes. Use msxmlcab.exe to download the CAB file to redistribute MSXML over the Internet. Another option is Simon Fell's PocketSoap[^] I do not mind getting old. It beats all the other options that can think of.

We use CMarkup from these guys: http://www.firstobject.com/index.html[^] The API is very small and easy to use.

Thanks Michael, I'm actually using the MSXML parser now but was concerned about destro. This is for an anti-spyware app so I just need the ability distribute the runtime files - not the SDK - so I'll have a look at that page in regards to that.

Isn't SAX the alternative API when you just want forward only access ? I don't know of any implimentations, but I'm sure google does. Christian I have several lifelong friends that are New Yorkers but I have always gravitated toward the weirdo's. - Richard Stringer

You can get a sneak preview of the FSEC library and its included XML library by visiting http://fsec.sourceforge.net/src/XMLManip/ for the source and http://fsec.sourceforge.net/docs/xmlmanip/ for the documentation. As far as I can tell it's the easiest XML Library available, even I use it on a regular basis. I'm always up for feedback, e-mail me at skonen@gmail.com.

There's a free SAX based parser library called Expat, that's cross-OS compatible. Haven't used it in a while, but it only took me about 15-20 minutes to get a hang of it and then I could use it with ease. Someone here at CP has written a C++ wrapper for the C-API exposed by Expat. Nish
