The XML-Parse library offers a compact selection of versatile functions that can be reused for parsing, verifying, and generating XML files.
This self-contained library has minimal dependencies and is written in C, which makes it both speedy and memory-efficient while being simple to use. The core functions have already been posted, and more advanced and useful XML-related utilities are expected to be added in the future. Released under the MIT License, this library is a reliable and flexible solution for anyone dealing with XML files.
The XML-Parse library offers various ways for parsing and/or creating XML files, and users can choose whichever set of functions make sense for their needs. The functions support the following alternative ways of working with XML files:
- Reading whole XML files into a tokenized tree-structure in memory, and then accessing, traversing, or decoding values out of the tree.
- Reading XML files, parsing and interpreting them as they are being read. Custom application-specific code can be interspersed with the parsing calls to interpret, convert, operate-on or store values immediately as input stream is read, instead of storing in an intermediate tokenized-tree structure. This method reduces time and memory requirements, and supports streaming operations.
- Building XML tree structures with convenient reusable routines from data in your application and/or modifying values in read-in trees.
- Automatically writing out valid XML files from XML trees that were constructed or read-into memory by your application.
- Checking XML trees against an arbitrary XML schema definition (XSD).
Overall, the XML-Parse library is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a customizable and efficient solution for parsing, checking, and creating XML files. Its lightweight design, support for multiple parsing styles, and self-contained nature make it easy to use and highly versatile.
