XML library

[wftomas]

Hi all,

I need to do some XML handling (construct xml documents, parse xml documents). Are there any usable functions in Symbian/Series60 that I can use? If not, could you recommend some third party xml library?

Regards,
Tomas

There is no XML library available prior Symbian OS v8.0a, but you can use for example Expat... More info here:

and if you want some commercial solution, I believe that Digia has some SAX based XML parser...

Hi Sopta,

But the EXPAT is written in C. Can i use it with Symbian.Also wont it be too hevy for the application ?

Can u give me some link to ghet started with XML in Symbian .

To be honest I've never used this one..:-)
But if it works on symbian I'd say why not use it.

If it is "heavy" or not it depends on the stuff you need to parse. If it is one simple xml document, then it is probably better to write some simple parser that will do exactly what you need and nothing more...:-)
