The IBM XML Toolkit is cumbersome and slooow...the RPG XML-INTO is much easier and faster. We eliminated it long ago due to performance, wrote our own parser, and finally threw the homegrown parser out when IBM came up with XML-INTO and XML-SAX.

I used the IBM XML Toolkit for a couple of projects several years ago
and it was and still is a pain to use. I use XML-INTO and XML-SAX now
for processing XML files. They are much easier.

XML4PR was the free version (back in the day) and now there is an XML5???
(aka XMLToolKit for iSeries) version that was/is chargeable. I used XML4PR
quite a bit about 6 to 8 years ago but haven't really used the latest
incantation.

As far as I know it is free and its also supported by IBM (I've had two PMR
fixed on the XML4PR portion of the product), the c++ stuff is just a port
of
xerces, the XML4PR wrapper is written in C++ but it flattens out the
interface to make it relatively easy to call from RPGIV and cobol etc.

Works a treat but does take some mastering at first.
