IrrXML

[niko]

Funny, now I'm announcing something here for the first time. I've created a separate project for the Irrlicht xml parser. I extended it with lots of new features and bugfixes. I named it irrXML, it is now completely independent of the Irrlicht Engine but still has all the nice features which made it popular. If you are searching for a descent, small, fast and simple xml parser, take a look at it.
http://xml.irrlicht3d.org
Of course, future irrlicht engine version will use this parser as back end for xml parsing.
I'll announce this in a few minutes on irrlicht.sf.net too, but just too spam a little bit on this forum..

That's cool! Thanks Niko!
BTW, personnally I prefer the website of irrxml to irrlicht one... This brown color looks better than the purple one... Why don't you switch between both?
It's only a suggestion, don't take it mad and please don't ban me for this comment

It's a cool thing, thanks. I have a question: what about writing to the XML file? How can I do this in the code?

[niko]

That's not possible with that thing, sorry. I could add something like the IXMLWriter in irrlicht, but this simply just makes it easier to write out strings in xml format into a file, nothing more.

Cool thing!!!

It looks simple like DOM (or even simplier), but it must be faster
than it. Do somebody tested its speed and memory against xercesC++ (SAX/SAX2)?

// I'm sure IrrXML is faster and smaller

With its optional file access abstraction it has the advantage of reading easily not only from files but from any type of data (memory, network, ...). For example when used with the Irrlicht Engine, it directly reads from compressed .zip files.

- thats also cool feature

.. and license is cool also

PS: Whats about XML-Schema-check?

I've planned something like that for the future, but don't expect it too soon.
