I seems like you is very confused yourself about positioning of your library. Here, you say "it's all 3" where 3 is "XML parser", and in another thread you say:
On the other hand, if boost gets its XML library,
It would be pretty bad if Boost has property_tree that reads "simple" XML *and* another XML library, with different interface that has full support for XML. How am I to choose one or another library?
Why?
Why choosing? Well, say I have a task of reading XML config files. I can use both property_tree and some future separate XML library. I can't use both, so I need to choose one. If I choose property_tree, then it's possible that several years later that specific config files will start using XML features not supported by property_tree and I'll need to rewrite my code. - Volodya
