From data storage to data exchange and from Perl to Java, it’s rare to write software these days and not bump into XML. Adding XML capabilities to a C++ application, though, usually involves coding around a C-based API. Even the cleanest C API takes some work to wrap in C++, often leaving you to choose between writing your own wrappers (which eats up time) or using third-party wrappers (which means one more dependency). Adopt the Xerces-C++ parser and you can skip these middlemen. This mature, robust toolkit is portable C++ and is available under the flexible Apache Software License (version 2.0).
