Yes, INI is easier to read but XML is ubiquitous and easier to sell. I use tinyXML2. TinyXML2 has been complete enough for me, and the footprint is small enough for me even on my target devices. On the embedded PowerPC MPC5554: powerpc-rtems4.11-size ~/scratch/powerpc-unknown-rtems/phycore_mpc5554/tpsw/tinyxml2/tinyxml2.o text data bss dec hex filename 41616 4 0 41620 a294 /home/dufault/scratch/powerpc-unknown-rtems/phycore_mpc5554/tpsw/tinyxml2/tinyxml2.o [dufault@litho9099 tinyxml2]$ OK, that's huge on some systems, but not on what I work on anymore. - Url: http://www.grinninglizard.com/tinyxml2docs/index.html - Licensing: TinyXML-2 is released under the zlib license: This software is provided 'as-is', without any express or implied warranty.
