Reading Configuration xml files in C++

How can the following configuration file be read in C++. Is there any support in STL. I can't afford to use other 3rd party libraries.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> 
<appSettings>
    <add key="FileType" value="doc"/>  
    <add key="FileLength" value="102234"/>   
</appSettings>

I am not using managed C++.

This is a link from a similar topic on StackOverflow
Using Boost to read and write XML files Which also recommends Tiny like Frerich Raabe recommended.

I suggest to use TinyXML in this case. It's a very very small XML reader, sufficiently sophisticated to parse your quoted XML document correctly. It's just two or three C++ source files which you can directly compile into your application. It has no external dependencies except the standard library and the STL.

STL has no support for parsing xml. If you're determined not to use a third party library then your only other option is to write a parser by hand, this seems like a pretty bad idea. Why exactly can't you afford to use third party libraries?
