What is EAXP?

EAXP is a XML SAX parser for Symbian. It was originally written (rc1) from scratch in one day with certain purposes in mind:

it needed to be simple
it needed to be efficient
it needed to be SAX
it needed to have VERY small runtime size and memory footprint
it didn't need to have Schema/strict syntax validation

It is, in no sense, a full-featured XML parser such as Expat. But it gets the job done. EAXP has been selected for numerous commercial as well as noncommercial projects due to its clear API, good performance and shallow learning curve.

Features:

Single pass approach, event model (SAX) parsing
Namespace support for element/attribute names
CDATA-section support
Comments support
character escape code support
XML document generation via a DOM model (see eaxp_dom.h)
