TinyXML is a simple, small C++ XML parser and generator library.

TinyXML is a simple, small, C++ parser that can be easily integrated into other programs. It is released under the ZLib license.

In brief, TinyXML parses an XML document, and builds from that a Document Object Model (DOM) object that can be browsed, manipulated and serialized within your C++ code. TinyXML also allows you to construct an XML document from scratch with C++ objects and write this to disk or another output stream.

TinyXML is designed to be easy and fast to learn. It consists of two headers and four source files which can either be compiled into your binary or built into a static library.

TinyXML attempts to be a flexible parser, but with truly correct and compliant XML output. It should compile on any reasonably C++ compliant system, does not rely on exceptions or RTTI, and can be compiled with or without STL support. TinyXML fully supports the UTF-8 encoding, and the first 64k character entities. However, TinyXML doesn't parse or use or .
