games and XML...

You could use XML for configuration, network protocols, laying out UI and descriptions, etc.

From an implementation standpoint, the most common way I''ve seen XML utilized is through MSXML functionality on Windows. You can look up a reference on how it works in the Web Development/XML and Web Services section of the MSDN Library.

Thanks...

Do you know any open source game (or something similar)?

Anyone used expat? Is there a list showing the benefits of each, possibly comparing expat and MSXML?

I''ve used Expat; it''s very nice, in my opinion. Perl uses Expat for XML parsing, so others seem to like it too .

I''ve actually written an article on XML in games, which is in the pipeline at the moment. So it should be out any time.. ooh, next 3 years?
