Mini-XML Tiny XML Library

Mini-XML is a tiny XML library that you can use to read and write XML and XML-like data files in your application without requiring large non-standard libraries. Mini-XML only requires a C99 compatible compiler (GCC works, as do most vendors’ C compilers) and a make program.

Mini-XML provides the following functionality:

• Reading of UTF-8 and UTF-16 and writing of UTF-8 encoded XML files and strings.
• Data is stored in a linked-list tree structure, preserving the XML data hierarchy.
• SAX (streamed) reading of XML files and strings to minimize memory usage.
• Supports arbitrary element names, attributes, and attribute values with no preset limits, just available memory.
• Supports integer, real, opaque, and text data types in “leaf” nodes.
• Functions for creating and managing trees of data.
• “Find” and “walk” functions for easily locating and navigating trees of data.
• Support for custom string memory management functions to implement string pools and other schemes for reducing memory usage.

Mini-XML doesn’t do validation or other types of processing on the data based upon schema files or other sources of definition information.

Note: Version 4.0 is not source-compatible with prior releases of Mini-XML. See the documentation for more information.
