Does anyone know of a good, dependency-less XML parser that I can drop into a c++ project without too much hassle?

RapidXml
TinyXML

My favorite is PugiXML. One .cpp file, just compile it with your project.

I use TinyXML highly recommend.

I second pugixml. Very simple to use and very fast too.

no c# xml parser?

I've used RapidXML and TinyXML. RapidXML is really, really fast, and behaves well in terms of minimal numbers of memory allocations. I seem to remember it crashing and being a little tricky to debug when it's fed malformed XML though, but that might not bother you too much depending on your usage case.

My experience with TinyXML is that it's easy to use but made a horrible number of tiny allocations which caused serious performance problems in our title (although this was equally caused by the fact our memory manager wasn't great at dealing with large volumes of allocations).

Thanks, guys ! I'll check these out and see which one I like best.

I used bxmlnode, it's extremely tiny, 450 lines of code in a single file. It was enough for my purposes, but for production you should probably choose something bigger and better, I guess. Btw, in case of of syntactic errors, it crashes.
