Title: XML for AmigaOS
Post by: Glaucus on November 21, 2002, 08:50:55 PM

Well, the subject says it all.  AS a developer I'd like to be able to store all my config data in a nice XML file.  The question is, is there an xml.library (or something like it) that I can use to parse XML files?  It doesn't need to be complete, just something simple would do.  Any suggestions?

Maybe the Linux world has something you could port...

When I did my Master's Thesis Work, I searched for compact XML parsers for an embedded system. I found a bunch of open-source solutions in ANSI-C which should compile without any problems on Amiga. Search for XML at sourceforge.net... :)

There seems to be some XML solutions for Amiga too:

Well, I found libxml on Aminet.  Has anyone here used it?  I looked at some example code and it seems simple enough.  I'll have to try it out and see how it works....

Okay, thanks guys.  That should teach me to search Aminet BEFORE asking for help!  :-)

Yes, there will be an XML service in OS4.
