cansas1d binding Fortran

The development of the FORTRAN language, so beloved of scientists, pre-dates the development of XML. And it shows. FORTRAN is not a language that manipulates strings with ease, and this makes parsing XML decidely awkward. So unless you really have to use FORTRAN, you are probably better off with C/C++ (or something else more 'modern'), e.g. Daniel Veillard's LIBXML2 at http://xmlsoft.org/.

If you have to use a dialect earlier than FORTRAN-90 (F90), then the chances are you will have to code your own parser.

For later dialects, there are some SDK's available on the Web:

For F90:

XMLPARSE - by Arjen Markus at http://xml-fortran.sourceforge.net/

FoX - by Toby White & others at http://uszla.me.uk/space/software/FoX/

For F95:

XML - by Mart Rentmeester at http://nn-online.org/code/xml/
