Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install tinyxml2 on CentOS 8.

What is tinyxml2

TinyXML-2 is a simple, small, efficient, C++ XML parser that can be easily integrated into other programs. It uses a Document Object Model (DOM), meaning the XML data is parsed into a C++ objects that can be browsed and manipulated, and then written to disk or another output stream. TinyXML-2 doesn’t parse or use DTDs (Document Type Definitions) nor XSLs (eXtensible Stylesheet Language). TinyXML-2 uses a similar API to TinyXML-1, But the implementation of the parser was completely re-written to make it more appropriate for use in a game. It uses less memory, is faster, and uses far fewer memory allocations. tinyxml2 6.0.0 3.el8 x86_64 43 k tinyxml2-6.0.0-3.el8.src.rpm powertools Simple, small and efficient C++ XML parser https zlib TinyXML-2 is a simple, small, efficient, C++ XML parser that can be easily integrated into other programs.
