XML parser and writer

Hey guys,

I'm writing a program to help people track various items and placing them on a calendar. These items are mainly ones that reoccur (monthly bills for example). Each item (or task) has various properties that are set for it and I was thinking of storing all the data in an XML file. I'd parse the file and have the data available throughout the execution of the program. Updates to the file would occur when someone edits a task to change its re-occurrence frequency, etc. Therefore I will need to both easily parse and write new XML files. I don't have a DTD or schema developed and I may later so any API I use will have to work w/o that for now. Can anyone suggest a simple API for parsing/writing my own made-up XML files? I've ruled out SAX since it only parses and was thinking of using DOM but I don't know if that will work because I've never did any programming with XML before.

thanks for any pointers

Brandon
