XML and C

[lancer6238]

Hi,

I'm curious to know if it is possible to write C programs that could
read from a XML document. And since I understand that XML documents
are usually parsed by applications at run-time, perhaps it is even
possible to have the program change its behavior based on updates to
the XML document?

Or maybe there already are tools available for this purpose?

Thank you.

Regards,
Rayne

There are lots of XML parser implementations in C or C++:
http://expat.sourceforge.net/
http://www.xmlsoft.org/
http://xerces.apache.org/#xerces-c

I am sure there are others, I just tried to name a few well known ones.
