Decent tool/library for C++ to handle XML ?

Question

I need to do some XML-related job (parsing, comparison etc). Is there any C++ library for this that you know works good ? Preferrably for Win XP. Thanks.

Answer 1

PugiXml will do it.

Answer 2

I used wxWidgets which has wxXmlDocument class that does a lot of hard work for you. It uses Expat internally, but handles all the charset conversions on its own. This is if you want a DOM based parser.

http://docs.wxwidgets.org/stable/wx_wxxmldocument.html

You might also want to look at Xerces, esp. if you want a SAX parser:

Answer 3

You may want to try Xerces, Pugixml and Mini-XML.

Answer 4

Tiny XML! Good library, ugly homepage: http://www.grinninglizard.com/tinyxml/

Answer 5

I use libxml2: http://www.xmlsoft.org

Answer 6

The xmlwrapp library is C++ wrapper around libxml2 that is quite usable and has the most C++-ish API from the alternatives I tried.
