Re: [Boost-users] is there any lib used to parse XML file in boost?

I may just be showing my ignorance here, but how do people feel about Xerces? Especially given that it's written in C++.

Here is what I know about Xerces-C++ from experience: - Out of all mentioned parsers (expat, libxml2, tinyxml) it is the only validating parser that supports both DTD and XML Schema. I think libxml2 supports only DTD and the other two do not support any validation. - Fairly complete support for advanced XML features, e.g., namespaces, entity references, CDATA, etc. - Extensive support for character encodings. - Supports DOM and SAX in one package. - C++ API. It is sometimes quite ugly, though. - Fairly portable.

(Note: I'm trying to install Xerces now on Solaris, and it isn't easy.)

I didn't find the installation any more difficult than say... boost ;-). hth, -boris -- Boris Kolpackov Code Synthesis Tools CC http://www.codesynthesis.com Open Source Cross-Platform C++ XML Data Binding
