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 libxml2's native C API. This version 4 series maintains modern C++ standards while offering robust DOM and SAX parsing capabilities.
Key Features:
  • Object-oriented DOM and SAX parsing APIs
  • Automatic memory management using smart pointers
  • Seamless integration with the underlying libxml2 library
  • Modern C++ interface design
Use Cases:
  • Parsing configuration files in XML format within C++ applications
  • Processing and transforming XML data streams
  • Building XML-based network protocols or APIs
Alternatives:
  • RapidXML – RapidXML is a header-only, non-validating parser focused on speed, whereas libxml++ offers full validation and a more comprehensive feature set via libxml2.
  • PugiXML – PugiXML is another lightweight, portable C++ XML parser, but libxml++ leverages the battle-tested libxml2 backend for standards compliance.
