    XML Operations?

    How would I got about calling information from a XML file or text file into a program? I want to use XML as a data storage unit for my program but cant figure out how.

    Thanks for your time.

    Have you tried searching the internet for XML read/write class libraries?

    Personally I don't like XML as data storage method. It's ASCII nature wastes a lot of disk space.

    Unless you want humans to be able to directly read the format...

    If you need an XML parser, have a look at Xerces . It's Apache's open source XML parser. It also has a DOM interface.
    I prefer it over Microsoft's XML parser, since it's proprietary, and also over libxml, since it seems to be aimed at Linux too much and I couldn't find a working DOM wrapper for C++.

    Good luck!
