Light-weight, simple and fast XML parser for C++ with XPath support
pugixml-1.16 is out. This is an anniversary release: pugixml turns 20 this year! In early 2006, I was evaluating existing XML parsers to parse large COLLADA files quickly and nothing fit the bill; existing DOM parsers were very slow and often cumbersome to use, existing SAX parsers required a tricky parsing flow for documents with many internal references with unspecified order. The most promising…

pugixml project used to be hosted on Google Code since time immemorial. About a year ago the active development switched to Git but the Subversion repository on Google Code was still maintained via svn-git and the primary way to report issues was via Issue Tracker on Google Code. Since Google disabled the downloads feature on Google Code, pugixml releases are hosted on github anyway; also git-svn…
