XML reader/writer DLL unmanaged

Posted by Alert Games on May 5, 2015, 11:05 p.m.

Hey guys, been busy, haven't been able to post some blogs I wanted to yet but I did come across a problem I was hoping someone could help out with…

Can someone here help me with finding a DLL?

What I want to end up doing is wrapping a DLL that can read and write XML documents so that it can be used for Game Maker.

I have found a couple of things online that I think use GML to accomplish basic XML reading and writing, but I was thinking that a DLL could be a bit more reliable and full-featured.

If there is already a wrapper out there I must have missed it when searching for one, but if anyone knows of an unmanged dll for XML files, I am willing to make a wrapper for it!

I know you guys can do it :)

What kind of data are you trying to read/write? If you're willing to forego XML, I know GM:S has native json encoding and decoding capability.

Also quick google found this: http://gmc.yoyogames.com/index.php?showtopic=543736

Not a dll, but still something.

Yeah I might use an incomplete XML system in the end for what I am trying to do. I have found a few on the gmc before, but I was curious if there were any dll's I could use since I would trust them more perhaps.

I would use json, but the way resources are stored in GM:S is in XML. Basically, my exporter will be able to use a project you select and write directly to the project, including graphics, scripts, and objects :)
