1 In my opinion the tmx-parser is the most robust library available which I have been using, too. It even supports compression which is the default option in Tiled.
- \$\begingroup\$ This, and if that does not please you, you can still export from Tiled to other formats like JSON and parse that, there is a lot of parsers for JSON. \$\endgroup\$opatut– opatut2013-02-15 20:19:06 +00:00Commented Feb 15, 2013 at 20:19

1 TMX is an xml-based format. You can parse it with any XML-parsing library to extract the level data and convert it into your internal format.

Two other options you have are STP and sfml-tmxloader
As for the first option I have not tried it. However I've used sfml-tmxloader and found it to be very simple to use, which is also the one I recommend.
