Hi,

We are using boost library to serialize C++ object to XML format. Though the boost library does a good job in converting the class variables to name value pair we do not know how to add attributes to the nodes.

This would require enhancement of the xml_archive. Such an enhancement could be made by deriving from the current xml_?archive.

Also we do not know for instance if an XML file already exists how to insert child nodes.

This suggests a misconception as what Boost Serialization and xml_archive can do. The xml file generated must be in sync with the C++ structures that generated it. In general, you can't edit the xml file and know that the xml_iarchive will be able to handle it. It might be possible to add edit values or add some collection items - but that isn't addressed by the current implementation. Robert Ramey

Any help here would be appreciated.
