Yo!

I have added some useful features to class XmlConfigFile (A class for an
easy handling of XML configuration files):

  • References to environment variables in a configuration file will be
    replaced by their actual values now.

  • A reload mechanism has been added, that will reload configuration
    files periodically, if you want. So you do not have to stop and restart
    your application, if you want to change its configuration.

  • The separator for parameter hashes is freely configurable now.

  • A lot of test cases were added.

  • A lot of documentation was added.

You can find a short tutorial here:

Cool. I originally wrote clxmlserial for small, conf file like usage. You
can check it out here: http://clabs.org/clxmlserial.htm. Unfortunately, I
haven’t touched it in a while.
