OXml - The next generation XML library for Pascal (Delphi, FPC, Lazarus)

[noisy]

OXml is the most versatile XML library in the Pascal world.

Supported compilers:
- Delphi (non-unicode): 6-2007
- Delphi (unicode) for Win32, Win64 and OSX: 2009+
- Delphi for ARC (iOS, Android): XE4+
- Lazarus for Win32, Win64, Linux, OSX: 1.0+
- corresponding C++Builder versions should be supported too (not tested though)

Main benefits:
- All on the target platform available single- and multi-byte codepages are automatically supported.
- True unicode support on all platforms and compilers (also for Delphi 6-2007).
- The XML parser is a standalone unit, making it possible to write different and user-defined XML interfaces.
- Extremely fast thanks to clever buffering.

Parsers included in OXml:
- Basic standalone XML reader and writer.
- DOM (W3C DOM Level 1.0 Specification).
- Sequential DOM parser
- SAX parser

As interesting as it looks, pointers and pointer dereferencing should be a thing of the past:

If you use FPC/Lazarus in Delphi mode ({$MODE DELPHI}), the nodes get dereferenced too. But if you use FPC/Lazarus in default mode, you have to dereference it manually with the "^" operator: XML.DocumentElement^.AddChild('child');

For those who don't like pointers to records, there is OXmlCDOM.pas that is TObject-based. You have to count with some performance penalty though.
