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: Remember my excellent example of C which has NO WARNINGS!
gollark: It's like something I would write.
gollark: Wait, was that a coherent helloboi sentence‽
gollark: I do. Is this not common?
