Summary

This chapter looked at some of the parsers available in C++, namely the IBM, MS, and James Clark's parser Expat.

The parsers have two uses:

  1. They can be used to parse an XML document, pure and simple.

  2. They can be incorporated into applications that can perform useful work on XML documents.

As XML moves into the mainstream, look for more and more applications to take advantage of the power and speed of the C++ language by using C++ parsers.
