About:
libxml++ is a C++ wrapper for the libxml2 XML parser library. It provides an object-oriented API that simplifies parsing, navigating, and manipulating XML and HTML documents. This version 5.x series offers modern C++ features and a cleaner interface compared to older versions.
Key Features:
  • Object-oriented API for XML parsing
  • DOM and SAX style parsing support
  • Modern C++ (C++11/14/17) interface
  • Memory management via smart pointers
Use Cases:
  • Parsing configuration files in XML format
  • Processing web service responses (SOAP/REST)
  • Manipulating XML data structures in C++ applications
Alternatives:
  • RapidXML – Header-only and faster, but less feature-rich and not actively maintained
  • pugixml – Lightweight and high-performance, but C++ API differs from libxml2 ecosystem
