<P>This programmers manual describes Mini-XML version 2.0, a small XML
parsing library that you can use to read and write 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 &quot;make&quot; program.</P>
<P>Mini-XML provides the following functionality:</P>
<UL>
<LI>Reading of UTF-8 and UTF-16 encoded XML files and strings.</LI>
<LI>Writing of UTF-8 encoded XML files and strings.</LI>
<LI>Data is stored in a linked-list tree structure, preserving the XML
data hierarchy.</LI>
<LI>Supports arbitrary element names, attributes, and attribute values
with no preset limits, just available memory.</LI>
<LI>Supports integer, real, opaque (&quot;cdata&quot;), and text data types in
&quot;leaf&quot; nodes.</LI>
<LI>Functions for creating and managing trees of data.</LI>
<LI>&quot;Find&quot; and &quot;walk&quot; functions for easily locating and navigating trees
of data.</LI>
</UL>
<P>Mini-XML doesn't do validation or other types of processing on the
data based upon schema files or other sources of definition
information, nor does it support character entities other than those
required by the XML specification.</P>
