Xerces-C++ Version 1.0
 

Xerces-C is a validating XML parser written in a portable subset of C++. Xerces-C makes it easy to give your application the ability to read and write XML data. A shared library is provided for parsing, generating, manipulating, and validating XML documents. Xerces-C is faithful to the XML 1.0 recommendation and associated standards (DOM 1.0, SAX 1.0, Namespaces). It also provides early implementations of DOM Level 2.0 and soon it will support XMLSchema. The parser provides high performance, modularity, and scalability. Source code, samples and API documentation are provided with the parser. For portability, care has been taken to make minimal use of templates, no RTTI, no C++ namespaces, limited use of exceptions and minimal use of #ifdefs.

Xerces-C is fully compliant with Unicode 3.0 specification, making it the first Unicode 3.0 compliant application.
