KissXML

CI Status Version Carthage compatible Platform License

KissXML provides a drop-in replacement for Apple's NSXML class culster in environments without NSXML (e.g. iOS).

It is implemented atop the defacto libxml2 C library, which comes pre-installed on Mac & iOS. But it shields you from all the nasty low-level C pointers and malloc's, and provides an easy-to-use Objective-C library.

It is designed for speed and reliability, so it's read-access thread-safe and will "just-work". That is, KissXML provides an API that follows "what-you-would-expect" rules from an Objective-C library. So feel free to do things like parallel processing of an xml document using blocks. It will "just work" so you can get back to designing the rest of your app.

KissXML is a mature library used in thousands of products. It's also used in other libraries, such as XMPPFramework (an objective-c library for real-time xml streaming). It's even used in hospital applications.

KissXML was inspired by the TouchXML project, but was created to add full support for generating XML as well as supporting the entire NSXML API.

Getting Started

The minimum deployment target is iOS 8.0 / macOS 10.9 / tvOS 9.0 / watchOS 2.0.

Swift Package Manager

The easiest way to install KissXML is using Swift Package Manager, simply add the following to your Package.swift:

dependencies: [
    .package(url: "https://github.com/robbiehanson/KissXML.git", .upToNextMajor(from: "x.x.x"))
]

Make sure to replace x.x.x with the appropriate version number.

CocoaPods

To install KissXML using CocoaPods, add the following to your Podfile:

use_frameworks!
pod 'KissXML'

After pod install open your .xcworkspace and import:

// Swift
import KissXML     
// Objective-C on iOS 8+ with `use_frameworks!`
@import KissXML;

Carthage

The KissXML.xcodeproj project contains framework targets for iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS.
