It might be better to just strip the comments first. This XSL will do that: <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"> <!-- Copy everything --> <xsl:template match="node() | @*"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> <!-- Emit nothing for comments --> <xsl:template match="comment()"> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> This might or might not be an option for you, but it seems less likely to introduce problems.

Because If I have xml-comments (<!-- -->) in the xml-file, the deserialization will fail with a boost::archive::archive_exception. Thanks in advance for your help!
