About:
libxml++ is a C++ wrapper for the libxml2 XML parser library. It provides an object-oriented API that makes parsing, traversing, and manipulating XML documents significantly easier and safer than using raw C APIs. This version 3.x series offers modern C++ features and a clean interface for robust XML handling.
Key Features:
  • Object-oriented API for XML parsing and manipulation
  • Automatic memory management using smart pointers
  • SAX and DOM parser support
  • Type-safe C++ interfaces over C libraries
Use Cases:
  • Parsing configuration files in C++ applications
  • Processing XML data feeds or web service responses
  • Generating XML documents programmatically
Alternatives:
  • RapidXML – Header-only and extremely fast, but less feature-rich and not DOM-compliant
  • pugixml – Lightweight and fast with XPath support, but not a C++ wrapper around libxml2
