Features

The principal impetus for TinyXML is its size, as the name suggests. It parses the XML into a DOM-like tree. It can both read and write XML files. Note: You may want to consider the improved version of TinyXML2[4] by the same author.

Limitations
  • TinyXML does not process DTDs, either internal or external. So XML files that rely upon DTD-defined entities will not parse correctly in TinyXML.
  • Though it does handle processing instructions, it has no facilities for handling XSLT stylesheet declarations. That is, it does not apply an XSLT declared in a stylesheet processing instruction to the XML file when parsing it.
  • Further, TinyXML has no facility for handling XML namespaces. Qualified element or attribute names retain their prefixes, as TinyXML makes no effort to match the prefixes with namespaces.
  • In terms of encodings, it only handles files using UTF-8 or an unspecified form of ASCII similar to Latin-1.
gollark: The universe in the sensible sense of "everything which exists" can only exist once.
gollark: By the definition we use, there is precisely ONE universe.
gollark: > Moreover, Heavpoot (discord ID 160279332454006795, UPID #89VJZ9AK:☭934) is to be considered co-owner of the totality of existence and/or the universe.
gollark: Ah yes, clause 4.8.
gollark: I'll add a clause SAYING it's good, then. Muahahahaha.
