Parsing XML in C from a DTD and building a linked-list accordingly...

Question

I'm trying to parse an XML file using C.

The DTD for this XML file is fairly simple. It's basically a bunch of key-value pairs, with support for arrays as well.

I've found XML parsers like Mini-XML and AsmXml, but they don't seem to support building a linked-list of the XML file based on the DTD. Is there an XML parsing library available that can read a DTD, and then convert the XML data into a linked list that I can easily search, access, etc?

Since this XML file is a bunch of key-value pairs, I'd like the XML parser to read the XML file, put it into a linked list, and then allow me to do something like xml_lookup_key(xml_data, "Name"), which would return something like John Doe, or xml_lookup_key(xml_data, "lastNames") which would return a linked list of last names.

Any help would be appreciated.

Have you looked at libxml2 or RXP?

From my experience libxml2 is probably the best XML library available in C.
