Good morning everyone<br><br>I&#39;d like to use boost::serialization for the generation of xml-files. The format of those files shall not be specific to or dependent of boost, i.e. I&#39;d like boost to not write the root-node of &quot;&lt;boost_serialization signature=&quot;serialization::archive&quot; version=...&gt;&quot;.<br>
<br>E.g., instead of <br><br>  &lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;UTF-8&quot; standalone=&quot;yes&quot; ?&gt;<br>  &lt;!DOCTYPE boost_serialization&gt;<br>  &lt;boost_serialization signature=&quot;serialization::archive&quot; version=&quot;4&quot;&gt;<br>
  &lt;picogen-qt-scene class_id=&quot;0&quot; tracking_level=&quot;0&quot; version=&quot;0&quot;&gt;<br>      &lt;comment&gt;hello world!&lt;/comment&gt;<br>      &lt;fenum&gt;two&lt;/fenum&gt;<br>  &lt;/picogen-qt-scene&gt;<br>
  &lt;/boost_serialization&gt;<br><br>I would prefer<br><br>  &lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;UTF-8&quot; standalone=&quot;yes&quot; ?&gt;<br>  &lt;picogen-qt-scene class_id=&quot;0&quot; tracking_level=&quot;0&quot; version=&quot;0&quot;&gt;<br>
      &lt;comment&gt;hello world!&lt;/comment&gt;<br>      &lt;fenum&gt;two&lt;/fenum&gt;<br>  &lt;/picogen-qt-scene&gt;<br><br><br>. I wonder if this is possible without tweakage of boost components (meaning that I would have to fork or write patches). I tried the serialization-documentation and google, but could not find appropriate information (or maybe I missed the right words).<br>
