Hi Bill -  

It's quite a problem to find a xml parser for MapBasic, because of the
requirements:

- a "pure" c based dll without any c++ bindings stuff 

- compiled with the stdcall calling convention 

- vb bindings, that fairly easy can be converted to MapBasic bindings

I haven't found a library that fulfills all the requirements. The nearest is
"libxml2" which is part of Gnome. It's a c (not c++) based xml parser. I
haven't found any vb bindings to libxml2 and I don't know how it's compiled
(cdecl or stdcall). You can find the dll at :
http://www.zlatkovic.com/projects/libxml/index.html. However, It comes with
the full c source including h definition files.

Being a Delphi nut, I probably would have solved the problem by finding a
Delphi xml component and programming a MapBasic friendly dll "wrapper"
around the xml component. 

Good Luck (You're going to need it :-)

Does anyone know where I can find a DLL containing functions to
parse XML files that can be called from a MapBasic application?
