Recommendations for a Fortran XML library.

Question

Are there any recommendations for a Fortran XML library? I found a few, but I do not know how well they are supported.

Answer 1

Toby White has written a very useful library FoX to be found at:

http://uszla.me.uk/space/software/FoX/

It provides a library which is able to read and write XML in Fortran95. It is widely used in the computational chemistry and mineralogy community - I don't know how far outside. I use FoX whenever I have Fortran program that needs to emit XML.

Toby has now moved on, but I expect that you will be able to run FoX without problems unless your machine has an unusal compiler. I expect that if you have questions Toby will be able to answer them.

Answer 2

F77xml, although it needs gdome2
