  • Memory-efficient XML handling
  • Cross-platform compatibility
  • Simple C API for easy integration
Use Cases:
  • Parsing XML configuration files in C applications
  • Generating XML reports or data exports

  • expat – A stream-oriented XML parser, excellent for SAX parsing but lacks full DOM support.
