Welcome

NunniMCAX is a C, non validating XML parser. Its APIs and functioning are very similar to SAX. That means that if you're familiar with SAX it will be straitforward to start using it.

NunniMCAX has been built using an Open Source FSM (Finite State Machine) generator, namely NunniFSMGen, available at nunnifsmgen.nunnisoft.ch

NunniMCAX is not and will never be a competitor of xerces nor expat. In fact, the aim of NunniMCAX is to be a lightweight, fast and reliable XML parser to be used in environment with limited resources (embedded, mobiles, etc..). A minimal (only well-formed check) executable linked statically against the library with all symbols stripped away on FreeBSD has a size below 19 KByte. NunniMCAX don't validate nor entity expansion.. but it strives to verify that the document is well-formed.

NunniMCAX is free software (LGPL), but, if you use and find it useful, please consider making a donation. Even if small, it would help!
