[Project Announcement] tinyxml2-rs: A high-performance, drop-in Rust implementation of TinyXML2
โ Rust ๐ 2026-07-01 ๐ค surdeus ๐๏ธ 2Hi everyone,
I wanted to share a project I've been working on: tinyxml2-rs.
It is a memory-safe, high-performance implementation of the classic C++ TinyXML2 API written in Rust. It is designed specifically to act as a drop-in replacement for existing C/C++ projects migrating to Rust, while simultaneously providing an idiomatic Rust API for native projects.
Key Features & Highlights:
- Drop-in Compatible: Built to ease the pain of C++ to Rust migrations without forcing you to completely rewrite your XML handling logic architecture.
- Robustly Tested: Includes a dedicated fuzzing infrastructure (
fuzz/directory running continuous property-based validation) and explicit benchmarking setups to ensure parity and performance. - Modern Project Health: Built with a complete set of contribution guidelines, a roadmap, and a security policy to ensure long-term maintainability.

I would love to get your feedback, suggestions, or code contributions! If you have projects currently relying on the original C++ tinyxml2 and are looking to modernize, please give it a spin and let me know how the drop-in integration works for you.
Thanks!
