Open Source Linux XML Parsers

TinyXML is a simple, small, minimal, C++ XML parser that can be easily integrating into other programs. It reads XML and creates C++ objects representing the XML document. The objects can be manipulated, changed, and saved again as XML. *Please Note* that TinyXML development has stopped and all development has moved to TinyXML-2. TinyXML-2 is available at https://github.com/leethomason/tinyxml2

RapidXml is an attempt to create the fastest XML parser possible, while retaining useability, portability and reasonable W3C compatibility. It is an in-situ parser with parsing speed approaching speed of strlen function executed on the same data.

PLEASE NOTE that we are in the process of moving to GitHub: https://github.com/libexpat/libexpat This is James Clark's Expat XML parser library in C. It is a stream oriented parser that requires setting handlers to deal with the structure that the parser discovers in the document.

An XML parser C library that's simple and easy to use. Inspired by simpleXML for PHP.

VTD-XML is the next generation XML parser/indexer/editor/slicer/assembler/xpath-engine that goes beyond DOM, SAX and PULL in performance, memory usage, and ease of use.

XML Parser for Fortran. Handles XML and similar structured files. The library provides access (read and write) via a linked list. This is conceptual different from the SAX approach. The data can be held and 'browsed' in memory.

NQXML is a pure Ruby implementation of a non-validating XML processor. It includes an XML tokenizer, a SAX-style streaming XML parser, a DOM-style tree parser, an XML writer, and a context-sensitive callback mechanism.

An XML parser written in the REXX programming language. It runs on mainframes (z/OS Rexx) as well as Windows and Linux (Regina or ooRexx). Includes example Rexx programs that use the parser such as: JCL2XML (converts z/OS JCL into an XML format), AUX2SVG (converts a z/OS CICS auxiliary trace file into a visual SVG format), PRETTY (an XML pretty printer), DEVISIO (an example of removing unwanted tags from an SVG file).

AsmXml is a very fast XML parser library for x86 platforms written in pure assembler.

EDIReader parses EDI input from ANSI X12 and EDIFACT, including documents for HIPAA compliance. It supports Java JAXP/SAX XML interfaces with a custom implementation of an "XML" parser, allowing access to EDI data with XML tools.

Instigate XML Parser is a wrapper library around various XML parsing front-ends. It provides single API and ability to switch between supported front-ends without modifying the client code.

A small Objective-C library which provides a SAX-like object-oriented interface to the Expat XML parser library.

Very small and simple public domain xml parser in 400 lines of C code, no error checking/handling.

WSFuzzer is a fuzzing penetration testing tool used against HTTP SOAP based web services. It tests numerous aspects (input validation, XML Parser, etc) of the SOAP target. It is only to be used against targets that have granted permission to be teste

NunniMCAX is a minimal (19KB) C library for parsing XML. The API recall SAX and is sequential and event-driven. The parser strives to verify that the XML is well-formed, but no validation. NunniMCAX's FSM has been generated using NunniFSMGen

Piccolo is the fastest SAX parser for Java, supporting SAX1, SAX2, and JAXP (SAX only). Piccolo is different from other parsers in that it was developed using parser generators. It weighs 160K including XML APIs. See http://piccolo.sf.net for more info.

The simple XML parser is a tiny parser for a subset of XML (everything except entities and namespaces). It uses a simple "one-handler per tag" interface and is suited for use with devices with limited resources.

EasyML converts Java objects into XML and back again, without the need for annotations or other types of configuration. EasyML offers extensive support for JDK classes and also supports customization through user settings, user extensions, or through the Java Serialization API. EasyML provides support for: - reading and writing XML text and/or org.w3c.dom documents - Java Collections framework - Java Serialization framework - Multi-threading - Java Generics and functional APIs EasyML can be customized with user-defined serialization strategies. The low-level components, XMLWriter and XMLReader, can be used directly, for a higher control compared to the EasyML Facade. Security policies can also be defined, specifying black- or whitelists of types which are allowed at deserialization time. EasyML on GitHub: http://github.com/cordisvictor/easyml-lib

SAXY is a Simple API for XML (SAX) parser for PHP, written purely in PHP. It is lightweight, fast, and modelled on the Expat parser.

An efficient little program to simply parse XML files to find contents of different sets of tags, whichever you please. Can also return a list of all the XML tags in relation to their content.

A C++ XML Parser and validator.

C++DOM is a C++ implementation of DOM Core. It is built it on top of expat (XML parser in C, by James Clark).

Advanced PHP library to pase xml documents to array with many advanced options.

A tiny, compact XML Parser written in Java that is less than 6K in size when compiled using JDK 1.3, that can be used in either a J2SE or J2ME envioronment.

Anthony's XML library for C++ (Axemill) is a 100% conformant, validating XML parser, written in C++.
