Currently I am investigating using XML within labview. I am interested in parsing information from xml documents but more specifically strings. I have investigated using the LabXML toolkit (the libxml one), however it only works with documents that are on disc. I am receiving XML documents over a TCP socket. It seems that if I use the labXML toolkit I have to write my XML string back to the disk, so that I can parse it, this will be too slow for my application. I looked at the libxml documentation, and the API provides for creating a xmldoc pointer using a string, but I do not see this exposed in labxml.
Is there an option to parse in-memory XML strings without writing to disk. What about the Internet Toolkit? I do not desire to write my own parser and would like the ability to use XQuery / XPath.
Thanks,
Paul
