XML Parsing

[minboymike]

Hello Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone knows of a simple(r) way to parse an xml
document. The current way I have been parsing an xml doc in my code
has been reading the entire xml document into a buffer of an appropiate
size, then searching for hardcoded (begin/end) tags and then parsing
the data that way (through pointers) .

Instead of hardcoding, im looking for a more abstract means to do this.
So if any one knows of a library i could include/import and use in my
project, it would be a great help!

BTW, the code works great as it is, but i would like to use this XML
parser in other projects, without having to hardcode the specifics tags
im looking for. thanks in advance

This is not quite on topic for this newsgroup. There are a lot of high
quality XML parsers around. Try the following:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/expat/

Also try asking in comp.text.xml and microsoft.public.xml

Thanks guy, I researched EXPAT and that seems to fit my exact needs.
Actually implementing it and using it in my code is another issue, but
thanks for everyone's feedback.
