Just an FYI, boost is not a SAX parser like libxml2, so it will be orders of magnitude faster then. However you will loose some flexibility if for some reason there is an error in your output stream due to human interaction. A SAX parser could move on and ignore the error, it's kind of all or nothing with boost::serialization.

That is also my understanding.

Unless Matthias or Robert know something that I don't, as they are the authors, while I'm just a avid user.

Actually, this is Robert's library. I am just responsible for some performance improvements. Matthias
