# Import Third-Party CMake Library Example This example demonstrates how to import third-party CMake libraries. ## Example Flow [tinyxml2](https://github.com/leethomason/tinyxml2) is a a small C++ XML parser. It is imported, without modification, for use in the project's `main` component (see the `main` component's [CMakeLists.txt](main/CMakeLists.txt)). To demonstrate the library being used, a sample XML is embedded into the project. This sample XML is then read and parsed later on using `tinyxml2`. ### Output ``` I (317) example: Setting up... I (317) example: Copying sample XML to filesystem... I (647) example: Reading XML file I (657) example: Read XML data: Tove Jani Reminder Don't forget me this weekend! I (667) example: Parsed XML data: To: Tove From: Jani Heading: Reminder Body: Don't forget me this weekend! I (677) example: Example end ``` --- There is a discussion on importing third-party CMake libraries in the programming guide under `API Guides` -> `Build System (CMake)` -> `Using Third-Party CMake Projects with Components`
