What are best XML and ZIP libraries?

I'm looking for libraries that handle XML files and ZIP files, preferably written in bmax itself (as opposed to external libs). Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

for xml I use maXML lib for bmax. Very powerful.
Heres the link....

I use LibXML ( because of the bug at the bottom of the thread PantsOn posted, which I guess has been fixed now ) but they both seem pretty similar. I guess ultimately I decided to stick with LibXML because it's based on an existing library, and I figured it would be less likely to have any more bugs. Funtionally, I'm not sure there's much between the two.

For Zip, I'm currently using the Package class of TrueVision ( which is obviously not public or free ) but until then I was using GMan's Pub.ZipEngine which seems very full-featured.

Thanks. Gonna give maXML and ZipEngine a go. See how I get on.

Am I right in thinking that libXML supports zipping natively?

That's right.
It will decompress a compressed zip on the fly, and for saving, you simply tell it what compression level you want (0-9) and it does the rest.

Ok. Switching to libXML. Thanks all.
