Hi! I saw specialized file readers/writers in a game engine once. They derived their own variations of ifstream and ofstream. Addin a few functions to give the data some control. Using blocks of { and }. Well my idea is to do a similar thing. An XML-stream, or rather a ifXMLstream and ofXMLstream (name suggestions are welcome). That would be great for the game I''m making! One thing hit me though... I can''t possible be the first one wanting to do this?.. Has anyone of you seen any xml formating streams in C++? I think Java has something for it but... Any articles or libraries made in C++? Thanx! "No lies of sugar can sweeten the sournes of reality" }+TITANIUM+{ A.K.A. DXnewbie[onMIRC]

shouldn''t be very hard to make one. At least if you''re using a xml parser lib that has already been made... Then just make a stream wrapper or sumthin

.NET makes great use of XML classes. Take a look at XMLReader, XMLWriter, XMLDocument, they are really good, even have support for XPath and of course they do both SAX and DOM.

Kind regards,
Steve
