+Mini-XML is a small XML parsing library that you can use to read XML and XML-like data files in your application without requiring large non-standard libraries. Mini-XML only requires an ANSI C compatible compiler (GCC works, as do most vendors' ANSI C compilers) and a 'make' program.

+Mini-XML is a small XML parsing library that you can use to read XML and XML-like data files in your application without requiring large non-standard libraries. Mini-XML only requires an ANSI C compatible compiler (GCC works, as do most vendors' ANSI C compilers) and a 'make' program.
+Mini-XML provides the following functionality:
+Reading of UTF-8 and UTF-16 and writing of UTF-8 encoded XML files and strings.
+Data is stored in a linked-list tree structure, preserving the XML data hierarchy.
+Supports arbitrary element names, attributes, and attribute values with no preset limits, just available memory.
+Supports integer, real, opaque ("cdata"), and text data types in "leaf" nodes.
+Functions for creating, indexing, and managing trees of data.
+"Find" and "walk" functions for easily locating and navigating trees of data.
+
+This package contains static libraries and header files need for development.
