About:
Libwbxml is a C library designed for parsing and encoding Wireless Binary XML (WBXML) documents, a compact binary format used in mobile protocols like WAP and SyncML. It provides developers with tools to efficiently convert between WBXML and standard XML, enabling lightweight data exchange in resource-constrained environments.
Key Features:
  • Lightweight C library for efficient WBXML processing
  • Supports both parsing WBXML to XML and encoding XML to WBXML
  • Includes command-line tools for conversion tasks
  • Open-source implementation under LGPL license
Use Cases:
  • Developing WAP gateway applications or mobile content servers
  • Processing SyncML data for device synchronization
  • Converting legacy WBXML documents to modern XML formats
Alternatives:
  • libxml2 – General XML library without native WBXML support; requires custom implementation for binary XML handling
