XML Parsers

[pitfiend]

Can you recomend a good xml parser? better if it is a fluent one. Native pascal, open source and little footprint are a requirements.

OmniXML.... Native Pascal, open source....

If you are using FreePascal, why not use the XML units that come with FreePascal? There is a tutorial here: http://wiki.freepascal.org/XML_Tutorial

If you need Delphi support you should try Very Simple XML: http://blog.spreendigital.de/2011/11...er-and-writer/ Check out the first omment on that blog article for a FPC 2.6 + Delphi compatible version.

Delphi user, thanks for the links. Honestly I tried to understand OmniXML, found it confusing.

Hi pitfiend,

I've always used the standard Microsoft one. Can be a pain in the butt but when you've gotten used to it, it's not so bad.

Any reason why you don't want to use it?

Dependencies, I don't like them and want maximum portability. As I'm planning to eventually switch off Delphi, I want something that's not a pain in the butt to maintain, also want something flexible too (that's why fluent xml comes to my mind).

If I don't find anything that comply with my needs, maybe going to build that library myself. Hope to be lucky .
