Hi folks, I've started converting to XML for some of my data sets (mostly X-ray spectra and geometry info for GPL'd scientific computing applications) and I was wondering if someone could provide some comments on the ups/downs the Xerces-C++ (http://xml.apache.org/xerces-c/index.html) parser versus the libxml++ parser. I've written some demo code using both and, so far, I prefer the cleaner, simpler libxml++ SAX interface. I find the Xerces code to be a lot more confusing... Specific questions: 1) Does (or can) libxml++ do validation while parsing? I'm writing DTDs for my data sets and would prefer a validating parser. 2) Xerces-C++ seems to use Unicode while libxml doesn't. Should I care? Or am I missing something? Any help is appreciated! thanks, Ed -- Edward H.
