MQX XML support

I want to put some XML files on K65 Kinetis which will be read by my code later on and I am using MQX OS 4.2 with MFS and SHELL components.

Has anybody already done this before (xml parser etc etc on MFS) ?

Thanks and Regards

Nitin

Hello Nitin,

XML is supported by a third party and it has an extra cost.

Have a great day,
Sol

I considered doing this for configuration files on an SD card and came to the conclusion that XML was too heavyweight. I ended up using JSON, which is much easier to parse. I used the cJSON library.

I came to the same conclusion. Dropped XML parser and the overhead because of that e.g. MFS etc etc.

Although I went all the way through to realize that. >95% RAM used and extensible amount of FLASH. NOT WORTHED.
