How to install and use VerySimpleXML in Delphi?

Question

I am new to Delphi and I need help in how to install VerySimpleXML. I would also greatly appreciate a tutorial on how to use it to convert html to xml, if you guys know where I can find such a tutorial.

Answer 1

I've downloaded the VerySimpleXML and it is a single pas file, so there's nothing to install.

To make this unit available to your project(s) you basically can:

1. Put the file anywhere in your disk and add the file to every project where you want to use it. To add the file to the project use ShiftF11 or via menú in Project/Add to project
2. Put the file anywhere in your disk and then add that folder to your Delphi library path, globally in Tools/Options/Delphi Options/Library/Library Path.
3. Put the file anywhere in your disk and then add that folder to your Project search path, in Project/Options/Delphi-Compiler/Search Path.
4. Put the file in the same folder where your project (dpr) file resides

Once the file is available to the project, you just add Xml.VerySimple to your uses clause in any unit you want to use it, for example:

Unit myUnit;
interface
  //whatever

implementation
uses Xml.VerySimple;

The download comes with an example that you may study to learn how to use it.
