XMLEet

XMLEet is a lightweight XML parsing library developed in C++. It is designed to provide a simple and efficient way to read and process XML documents. The library focuses on ease of use and performance, making it suitable for embedded systems and applications where resource constraints are a concern.

The core functionality of XMLEet revolves around event-driven parsing. This means that instead of loading the entire XML document into memory, XMLEet processes it sequentially, notifying the application when it encounters specific elements, attributes, or text content. This approach significantly reduces memory consumption, which is a key advantage for embedded development.

XMLEet supports basic XML features such as element parsing, attribute retrieval, and text content extraction. It does not include support for advanced XML features like DTD validation, XSLT transformations, or XML namespaces. This deliberate omission contributes to its small footprint and rapid execution speed.

The library's API is straightforward, allowing developers to quickly integrate it into their projects. It typically involves setting up callback functions that are invoked during the parsing process. These callbacks are then responsible for handling the extracted XML data according to the application's specific requirements. XMLEet is often chosen for its simplicity and minimal dependencies, making it a practical choice for projects that need basic XML parsing capabilities without the overhead of larger, more complex XML libraries.
