[SUGGESTION][XML Parser]PugiXML and IncredibleXMLParser

Postby arkdemon » Sat Mar 15, 2014 11:17

Hello everyone. I searched the Internet for which XML Parser I should use with CEGUI and I stumbled upon pugiXML and IncredibleXMLParser. They seem to be very fast.pugiXML is still in development (not very active though) whilst IncredibleXMLParser seems to be "dead" and I think it would be interesting to incorporate them into CEGUI (IMHO).

We won't incoporate a "dead" xml parser and also not an in-development one. If you want a fast one then choose RapidXML. It is already supported by CEGUI and according to benchmarking it is the fastest one we have. If you really want to add a plugin for either of those xml parser you mentioned then feel free to provide it and if it meets quality standards we can make it part of CEGUI. However we already support a lot of parsers and I think there is no reason to add more.

Also I am in fact pretty sure that the ones you mentioned will not be faster, or at least not significantly faster, than RapidXML. Please provide factual information if you wanna convince me of the opposite.

OK. It was only a suggestion so if you are against it ,then no problem.

PS: RapidXML is dead: latest version is 1.13 which arrived in 2009-05-15 (http://sourceforge.net/projects/rapidxm ... ml%201.13/)
and when I said "in development" I meant that it there were still releases which improved it (like CEGUI now).

RapidXML works and is fast and also used commercially. You can try to integrate one of the mentioned XML parsers and see if they are faster than RapidXML. If that is the case and they work well and the integration is good i am not against it at all. Don't get me wrong.
