Re: [xml] Tool to help fill in structures from XML

FYI - We have a tool that takes an XML Schema, and generates C++ classes 
with all the marshalling and unmarshalling machinery.  For more info, see:

   http://www.tech-know-ware.com/lmx

However, my take of your example (below) is slightly different from your 
descriptive question.  If your example is closer to what you want, the Boost 
library has an object serialization component.  You may not get the exact 
XML that you are looking for, and it might involve a little drudgery, but it 
might help.

HTH,

Pete.
