libxml++ Reference Manual

# Description

libxml++ is a C++ wrapper for the libxml2 XML parser and builder library. It presents a simple C++-like API that can achieve common tasks with less code.

See also the libxml++ Tutorial and the libxml++ website.

# Features

- xmlpp::DomParser: A DOM-style parser.
- xmlpp::SaxParser: A SAX-style parser.
- xmlpp::TextReader: An XmlTextReader-style parser.
- A hierarchy of xmlpp::Node classes.

# Basic Usage

Include the libxml++ header:

#include <libxml++/libxml++.h>

(You may include individual headers, such as libxml++/document.h instead.)

If your source file is `program.cc`, you can compile it with:

g++ program.cc -o program `pkg-config --cflags --libs libxml++-2.6`

Alternatively, if using autoconf, use the following in `configure.ac:`

PKG_CHECK_MODULES([LIBXMLXX], [libxml++-2.6])

Then use the generated `LIBXMLXX_CFLAGS` and `LIBXMLXX_LIBS` variables in the project `Makefile.am` files. For example:

program_CPPFLAGS = $(LIBXMLXX_CFLAGS)
program_LDADD = $(LIBXMLXX_LIBS)
