Tinyxml2
TinyXML-2 is a lightweight C++ library for parsing, manipulating, and generating XML documents. It functions as a UTF-8 XML processor that represents data through a hierarchical Document Object Model.
The library provides tools for both DOM parsing and direct document generation via data streams. It includes capabilities for navigating the XML tree to locate specific elements, modifying attributes and content, and resolving character entities and Unicode numeric references into UTF-8 text.
The processor includes syntax validation and diagnostic utilities that track line-number metadata for every node and attribute to report precise coordinates for parsing errors.
Features
- Document Object Models - Represents XML data as a hierarchical Document Object Model (DOM) for programmatic navigation and modification.
- XML Parsing - Provides a C++ library for parsing and manipulating XML documents into structured data objects.
- Document Generation - Produces XML output by writing data directly to a stream without requiring a fully materialized object tree.
- XML and HTML Document Parsers - Creates in-memory document trees from XML for programmatic traversal and modification.
- UTF-8 XML Processors - Functions as a UTF-8 XML processor that resolves character entities and Unicode numeric references into encoded text.
- Source Line Tracking - Tracks source file line numbers for every node and attribute to provide precise coordinates for parsing errors.
- XML Syntax Validators - Verifies the structural and syntactical correctness of XML files while tracking line metadata for error reporting.
- Single-Pass Parsing - Employs a single-pass parsing strategy to transform raw XML text into an internal object model efficiently.
- XML Entity Resolution - Converts predefined character entities and Unicode numeric references into UTF-8 equivalents during data parsing.
- Character Entity Resolution - Translates predefined XML entities and Unicode numeric references into UTF-8 encoded bytes during parsing.
- In-Memory Tree Hierarchies - Implements an in-memory node hierarchy that allows bidirectional traversal of the XML document structure.
- Minimalist Library Design - Maintains a minimal codebase designed for easy integration into other programs without heavy external dependencies.
- XML and YAML Node Navigation - Allows for finding specific text values or attributes by navigating the XML document's tree structure.
- XML Processing - Simple and fast XML parser for C++.
- Networking and Utilities - XML parser for easy integration.
- XML Parsers - Simple and fast C++ XML parser.
- XML - Listed in the “XML” section of the Awesome Cpp Cn awesome list.
