What is tinyxml2
TinyXML-2 is a simple, small, efficient, C++ XML parser that can be easily integrated into other programs.

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. TinyXML-2 is a simple, small, efficient, C++ XML parser that can be easily integrated into other programs.
