1.1. xml-fortran
https://xml-fortran.sourceforge.net/
- latest update in 2012
1.1.1.1.1. Features:
- reading the files in much the same way as an ordinary text file - a stream-oriented method
- directly reading the contents into a data structure that reflects the structure of the XML file
- constructing a tree of data from the XML file with essentially the same structure
- processing the contents using "events", in much the same way as the original Expat library
- supports a wide set of Fortran compilers, e.g. f90, lf95, ifort, gfortran
- SAX, DOM processing
1.1.1.1.2. Limitations:
- the lines in the XML-file should not exceed 1000 characters
- there is no support for DTDs or namespaces, XSLT, XPath and other more advanced features around XML
- there is currently no support for the object-oriented approach
- no support (yet) for a single quote as delimiter
- no support (yet) for conversion of escape sequences (>. for instance)
- the parser may not handle malformed XML-files properly
- the parser does not (yet) handle different line-endings properly
1.2. Foxy
https://github.com/Fortran-FOSS-Programmers/FoXy
- latest update in 2022
1.2.1.1.1. Features:
- pure Fortran library
- Fortran 2008+ compliant
- OOP designed
- free, open source
- parallel architectures supported

1.3. xmlf90
https://github.com/rscircus/xmlf90
- latest update in 2014
- very detailed documentation: https://github.com/rscircus/xmlf90/blob/master/Tutorial/UserGuide.pdf
1.3.1.1.1. Features:
- pure Fortran library
- can detect badly formed documents, giving by default an error report including the line and column where it happened; it also will accept an `error_handler` routine for finer control by the user
- attribute values can be specified using both single and double quotes
1.3.1.1.2. Limitations:
- it is not a validating parser
- accepts only single-byte encodings for characters
- limits on the length of element and attribute identifiers, and the length of attribute values and unbroken (i.e., without whitespace) PCDATA sections, MAX_BUFF_SIZE=300
- overly long comments and SGML declarations can be truncated
- the number of attributes is limited to 20
