I'm interested too. It seems the sort of weapon that Boost should have in its toolkit? Are there any other implementations (free open-source or commercial). ------------------------- Free implementations ------------------------- In Java: Apache POI (Well known monster :) Users of that library complain that it is difficult to use) http://poi.apache.org/ In C#: Openmcdf library (Lacks of unit testing, consume lot of memory) http://openmcdf.sourceforge.net/ In C++: Pole library (Read only support, need very careful usage, because implementation is unsafe) http://www.dimin.net/software/pole/ ------------------------- Commercial implementations ------------------------- In C: SchemaSoft's NFF_StructuredStorage library It is not available on the Internet, but some companies have its sources. This is c library, buggy, difficult to use and unsafe. I worked with it in Quickoffice company. Hate that macro-style nightmare }:-> If you know any other implementations, pleeeese let me know.
Although access to Microsoft containers will interest many, and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Authoring_Format even more Yep. AFF format is structured storage inside.
are there other structures/format we might consider? Hmmm... if you suggest one, I can investigate.
PS Boost licence throughout would be absolutely essential of course. If you mean that I must release the lib under boost license, this is not a problem.
