An XML parser is a very complex piece of software, and their functionality is not easily built. There are only a couple of XML parsers that I know about that expose themselves through COM, and XMLDOM is the only free one.

All we really need is an XML to a Fox cursor, Fox cursor to XML. It really wouldn't even need to do everything that XML is capable of, we're just looking for a simple way to pass a few records back and forth between a COM server and a VFP app. We figure if we handle it ourselves, we won't be at Microsoft's or anyone elses mercy to stay up to date with "the latest", which would be the case if we went the ADO route, or even XMLDOM. Versioning problems, bleech!
