Open Source XML Parsers

TinyXML is a simple, small, minimal, C++ XML parser that can be easily integrating into other programs. It reads XML and creates C++ objects representing the XML document. The objects can be manipulated, changed, and saved again as XML. *Please Note* that TinyXML development has stopped and all development has moved to TinyXML-2. TinyXML-2 is available at https://github.com/leethomason/tinyxml2

RapidXml is an attempt to create the fastest XML parser possible, while retaining useability, portability and reasonable W3C compatibility. It is an in-situ parser with parsing speed approaching speed of strlen function executed on the same data.

PLEASE NOTE that we are in the process of moving to GitHub: https://github.com/libexpat/libexpat This is James Clark's Expat XML parser library in C. It is a stream oriented parser that requires setting handlers to deal with the structure that the parser discovers in the document.

An XML parser C library that's simple and easy to use. Inspired by simpleXML for PHP.

VTD-XML is the next generation XML parser/indexer/editor/slicer/assembler/xpath-engine that goes beyond DOM, SAX and PULL in performance, memory usage, and ease of use.

MuLanPa is a source-analyser with a configurable parser and may be may be used for several programming-languages. Its xml-output should be used for tools like project-browsers or code-viewers like moritz (www.sourceforge.net/projects/moritz/) .

xmlpp is an non-validating XML Parser. It is written entirely in C++ and uses only the STL for dynamic data structures. xmlpp is very small, fast and easy to use and is suited for embedded applications or even just for configfiles.

EDIReader parses EDI input from ANSI X12 and EDIFACT, including documents for HIPAA compliance. It supports Java JAXP/SAX XML interfaces with a custom implementation of an "XML" parser, allowing access to EDI data with XML tools.

NunniMCAX is a minimal (19KB) C library for parsing XML. The API recall SAX and is sequential and event-driven. The parser strives to verify that the XML is well-formed, but no validation. NunniMCAX's FSM has been generated using NunniFSMGen

eXML is a XML Parser Framework for Eiffel. It features a native Eiffel parser and expat (using a C-bridge). Please note that we are using the mailing list at http://www.egroups.com/group/exml (and not the one on SF)

A tiny, compact XML Parser written in Java that is less than 6K in size when compiled using JDK 1.3, that can be used in either a J2SE or J2ME envioronment.

Anthony's XML library for C++ (Axemill) is a 100% conformant, validating XML parser, written in C++.

XML::Bare - Minimal Perl XML parser implemented via a C++ state engine

DOMIT! is a Document Object Model (DOM) XML parser for PHP, written purely in PHP. It is mostly compliant with the DOM Level 2 specification.

DOMIT! RSS is an RSS parser for PHP, written purely in PHP. Unlike most existing PHP RSS clients, it uses a DOM XML parser -- DOMIT! -- to convert an RSS feed into a DOM document that can be traversed using the standard DOM methods.

Dapar is a universal parsing library written in C. It will interpret any grammar you give it in a BNF-like format, and constructs a matching expression tree for any given input. This makes developing a new parser for any language simple and reliable. Includes an ABNF parser, EBNF parser, XML parser and algebraic math parser.

EasyML converts Java objects into XML and back again, without the need for annotations or other types of configuration. EasyML offers extensive support for JDK classes and also supports customization through user settings, user extensions, or through the Java Serialization API. EasyML provides support for: - reading and writing XML text and/or org.w3c.dom documents - Java Collections framework - Java Serialization framework - Multi-threading - Java Generics and functional APIs EasyML can be customized with user-defined serialization strategies. The low-level components, XMLWriter and XMLReader, can be used directly, for a higher control compared to the EasyML Facade. Security policies can also be defined, specifying black- or whitelists of types which are allowed at deserialization time. EasyML on GitHub: http://github.com/cordisvictor/easyml-lib

A small Objective-C library which provides a SAX-like object-oriented interface to the Expat XML parser library.

This is a C++ wrapper around the excellent Expat XML parser, designed to allow a developer to rapidly build XML parser classes for their projects.

Free lightweight HTML/XML parser.

IDXMLParser is a "sloppy dom" XML parser, that provides for an XPath *like* interface for querying XML elements and attributes, whilst not requiring any validation of the XML.

A framework for creating highly interactive websites using javascript, css, xml, and html. Includes a custom xml parser for highly readable javascript. Essentially, all the plumbing for making AJAX-based websites, with js-based GUI toolkit.

JWebToolkit is a Java web-application framework that provides a database pool (schema configured by XML), data interfaces, command pattern implementation, JSP tag libraries, JDK1.1 compatible XML parser, and XML tools.

Traditionally, XML is parsed either by an event-based parser or by a tree-based parser. Event-based parsers are fast and have minimal memory consumption, but implementing the event handlers is cumbersome. Tree-based parsers result in code that is easier to develop, to understand and to maintain, but have high memory consumption as the whole parse tree needs to be kept in memory at the same time. JavaXMLFrag is a partial parse tree based parser, where only parts of the parse tree need to be kept in memory at the same time. It therefore combines the benefits of tree-based parsers and event-based parsers.
