What are best XML and ZIP libraries?
BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Programming/What are best XML and ZIP libraries?

| I'm looking for libraries that handle XML files and ZIP files, preferably written in bmax itself (as opposed to external libs). Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks. |
| ||
| for xml I use maXML lib for bmax. Very powerful. Heres the link.... http://www.blitzmax.com/Community/posts.php?topic=56469 |

| I use LibXML ( because of the bug at the bottom of the thread PantsOn posted, which I guess has been fixed now ) but they both seem pretty similar. I guess ultimately I decided to stick with LibXML because it's based on an existing library, and I figured it would be less likely to have any more bugs. Funtionally, I'm not sure there's much between the two. http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=59324 For Zip, I'm currently using the Package class of TrueVision ( which is obviously not public or free ) but until then I was using GMan's Pub.ZipEngine which seems very full-featured. http://www.gprogs.com/forum/viewforum.php?id=8 |

| Thanks. Gonna give maXML and ZipEngine a go. See how I get on. |

| Am I right in thinking that libXML supports zipping natively? |
| ||
| Am I right in thinking that libXML supports zipping natively? That's right. It will decompress a compressed zip on the fly, and for saving, you simply tell it what compression level you want (0-9) and it does the rest. |

| Ok. Switching to libXML. Thanks all. |
