I was wondering if there's an easy-to-use XML parser library out there (for MingW) that I can put into my project? It's for storing information on items and enemies and stuff, I'm basically just going to be using the hierarchical storage capabilities like so:

I've only heard good things about TinyXML maybe that's worth a look.

hey, I was looking at the TinyXML documentation, apparently you just have to run one line of code and BAM it's all stored in memory and arranged in objects for you. Sounds nice... I'll play with it when I get home

There's also libxml2, which will load/parse your XML documents for you, arrange them, if you wish, into snazzy, easy to decode trees, and, if you want, provide several different forms of document validation. For instance, it has the capability to validate loaded documents against Relax NG schemas, which is useful, if you're into that kind of thing.

But yeah, it's pretty simple to use, and should be available for most GNU based C-compilers. xmlsoft's examples can pretty much walk you through the more rudimentary aspects of the library.

TinyXML is insanely simple to use, and loads of fun to boot. You can access the tree using long and drawn it IE DOM style specifications, or if your handy with a pointer you can traverse the tree in a pretty nifty way.
