cmeel-tinyxml
cmeel distribution for TinyXML, an obsolete thing.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
No—install only if you have an explicit dependency from another package or legacy codebase. The repository is archived, maintenance is abandoned, and the license is unclear. TinyXML is described as obsolete; modern XML parsing should use maintained alternatives. The unclear license adds legal risk.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python >= 3.8.
- Pre-built wheels are available for macOS (arm64, x86_64), Linux (manylinux_2_28 aarch64/x86_64), and musllinux; other platforms may require compilation.
- Medium install friction due to compiled wheels for multiple platforms.

What it is and what it does
cmeel-tinyxml packages TinyXML, a C++ XML parsing library, as a Python-installable distribution through the cmeel build system. It allows Python projects to depend on and use the TinyXML library without manually building or managing the C++ code. The package provides pre-compiled wheels for common platforms (macOS, Linux), reducing installation friction for end users.
The package itself is a wrapper or distribution mechanism rather than a high-level Python API—it exposes the underlying TinyXML library for use by other packages or C/C++ extensions. Given that the repository is archived and the maintenance status is marked abandoned, this package is primarily useful for projects that already depend on it or for maintaining legacy systems that require TinyXML.
Use it for
- Satisfy a dependency requirement from another package that needs TinyXML as a build or runtime dependency.
- Legacy system maintenance where existing code relies on TinyXML through cmeel.
- Cross-platform distribution of C++ projects that use TinyXML, avoiding per-platform compilation steps.

More Markup packages
PyYAML parses and emits YAML 1.1 data format, enabling serialization and deserialization of configuration files and Python objects to and from human-readable YAML text.
A Python markdown parser that converts markdown to HTML following the CommonMark specification, with support for plugins and custom syntax rules.
Install it if you need reliable markdown-to-HTML conversion.
Beautiful Soup parses HTML and XML documents into a navigable tree, providing Pythonic methods to search, iterate, and modify the parsed content.
Install it if you need to parse or extract data from markup documents.
et_xmlfile writes large XML files with minimal memory overhead by serializing elements to disk as they are created, rather than holding the entire tree in memory.
Install it if incremental XML writing fits your use case; skip it if your XML documents are small or you already use lxml.
Parses and edits TOML files while preserving formatting, comments, and structure, then serializes them back with layout intact.
Install it if you're building tools that touch TOML files and user readability of the source matters.
Parses Python docstrings in ReST, Google, Numpydoc, and Epydoc formats, extracting structured information like descriptions, parameters, return types, and exceptions.
Install it if you need to programmatically read and extract structured data from Python docstrings.
