serialization : XML Schema?

Hi, I 'm working on a project where I want to parse XML archives generated by boost serialization library, except that I didn't find any serialization's specification or XML schema describing this mechanism. Is there any documentation providing this? Thanks Accédez au courrier électronique de La Poste : www.laposte.net ; 3615 LAPOSTENET (0,34 /mn) ; tél : 08 92 68 13 50 (0,34/mn)

When I made the xml_?archive classes, I did consider including code that would automatically generate the xml schema that corresponded to the xml data. But I concluded it wasn't necessary to fullfill the xml requirement. You might consider enhancing the xml_oarchive to produce such a schema along with the data.
Was the original question about schema for specific serialized data types, or rather for general syntax of XML archives, regardless of the serialized types? It sounded like the latter for me. - Volodya

Hmmm - if its the latter - I wouldn't know how to answer it. I forget the details now, but when I looked into it, I concluded that the schema would vary depending upon the archive. After all the xml generated reflects the structure of the corresponding C++ objects which will vary from archive to archive. So the only thing that occurred to me was that a schema be generated along with the archive (in parallel). This might be very useful in some contexts - but is off the track for me. Robert Ramey
