Does any such exist?

SQLite. Not flat-file, but it is file based, can be easily embedded in apps.

Thanks for the suggestion :) . SQLite is clearly the most popular choice on stack overflow :P ... +1 – Alterlife Feb 25 '09 at 04:36

For pure XML embedded database you might want to peek at Oracle Berkeley DB XML.

Maybe this very lightweight XML library can also be of help: RapidXML. It's an XML parser, not a database library, but depending on your application that might be enough (you mention a flatfile XML data storage).

You can also look at berkleyDB

From wikipedia:

Berkeley DB (BDB) is a computer software library that provides a high-performance embedded database, with bindings in C, C++, Java, Perl, Python, Ruby, Tcl, Smalltalk, and many other programming languages. BDB stores arbitrary key/data pairs as byte arrays, and supports multiple data items for a single key. BDB can support thousands of simultaneous threads of control or concurrent processes manipulating databases as large as 256 terabytes, on a wide variety of operating systems including most Unix-like and Windows systems, and real-time operating systems.
