Sure, if you've got a Java background it might be easier, but the articles seems to gloss over any detailed comparision of modern C++ XML tools likes IBMs and ours, or, langauges like VB, which to a lesser degree I understand. I think Java is great but.. Anybody with a C++ *will* find it easier using C++ tools and get the huge performance benefits to boot. In the MS world I live in mostly, VB *is* the easiest tool for XML development unless this is complicated: Dim xmlfile As DOMDocument Dim contacts As DOMElement Dim contact As DOMElement Set xmlfile = New DOMDocument Set contacts = xmlfile.createElement("Contacts") xmlfile.appendChild contacts xmlfile.save ("C:\test2.xml") In C++ I just write this to create an XML document: DOMDocument *pDoc; pDoc = createDOMDocument(); pText = pDoc->createElement( L"Contacts"); pDoc>appendChild( pText ); saveDOMDocumentToFile( pDoc, L"simple_utf16.xml", L"UTF-16" ); pDoc->release(); Is that so hard for a C++ programmer ? These code snippets are based on our products but the MS/IBM implementations are bound to be as simple.
