MaXML makes it easy to load, manipulate, and save XML files. MaXML is a very easy to use library of functions for manipulating xml data, including a fast xml parser (which parses roughly twice as fast as Microsoft Internet Explorer's XML viewer) and saver, including encryption support to protect your saved games, high scores, etc. from being edited by players. XML is a widely used and accepted format applied anywhere from word-processors to level builders.

Ported to BlitzMax by Bryan Laroche (TeaVirus).
