How to use tiled map without Cocos2d?

Question

I know how to use tiled maps (.tmx files) with cocos2d. But I want to use it without Cocos2d. Can i do that? If yes, How?

Answer 1

The TMX file format is documented in the Tiled wiki. It's an XML-based format. iOS comes with two XML parsers to choose from:

• The event-driven NSXMLParser class, also discussed in the Event-Driven XML Programming Guide.

• libxml2, which has both event-driven and parse-tree-producing interfaces, and is documented at its own web site.
