[QUOTE="Klintus Fang, post: 417824, member: 3580"] I just downloaded and installed microsoft's MSXML4.0. Which appears to come with dll's and an api that I can use directly from within any C++ program. I've also been reading through the help files it comes with to get a feel for what XML is all about and I am quite excited by the prospects now. It seems to basically be a format for laying out a hierarchical structure for you data. And the XML parsers will automatically arrange it for you and give you ways of accessing the content directly via function calls as though the file itself were a class object. It looks like some of parsers actually arrange the file in memory as an unseen (unseen by the programmer) class object that you can then pull values out of and then place values into. That is very interesting. XML Schema also look quite interesting too, though I only supreficially can tell what they are for at this point. I think I'm going to sit down and attempt to implement pieces of the SRD in XML file. And try to encode the rule mechanics themselves. Just to see if understand how it all is suppossed to work.
