 Posted: Wed Feb 08, 2006 12:00 pm Post subject: XML Decoding |
 |
|
I am looking to find a component to allow me to decode/parse xml files into a data structure.
The only one that I've managed to find is one from Icom:
http://www.icom-dv.de/download/uk_download.php3
and this one seems to suffer from quite a major memory leak. Not a great issue if parsing one or two files, but when you need to decode lots of xml it builds up and ultimately fails.
Does anyone know of any other component that is usable?
I don't need anything complex. Just to be able to decode a simple XML file made up of a relatively simple data structure. I don't necessarily even need validation as I can guarantee the integrity of the file. I just need to extract the data from it in a short space of time. |

Are you wanting to extract only a few bits of information? or are you
looking for something to parse the whole file and give you a filled data
structure?
I do have some code I wrote that goes through a XML file to extract a
specific pieces of information.... although not a component.
Let me know,

Which version of BCB are you using? BCB 6 ships with XML support, via a
TXMLDocument component. There is also a Data Binding Wizard that creates
wrapper classes for processing defined XML structures, such as from an XML
schema.
I use libxml2 myself in both BCB 5 and 6. It works very well -

If it is so simple, then why not just parse the strings manually?
