libxml++: libxml++ Reference Manual
Description
libxml++ is a C++ wrapper for the libxml2 XML parser and builder library. It presents a simple C++-like API that can achieve common tasks with less code.
See also the libxml++ Tutorial and the libxml++ website.
Features
- xmlpp::DomParser: A DOM-style parser.
- xmlpp::SaxParser: A SAX-style parser.
- xmlpp::TextReader: An XmlTextReader-style parser.
- A hierarchy of xmlpp::Node classes.
Basic Usage
Include the libxml++ header:
#include <libxml++/libxml++.h>
(You may include individual headers, such as libxml++/document.h instead.)
If your source file is program.cc
, you can compile it with:
g++ program.cc -o program `pkg-config --cflags --libs libxml++-5.0`
If your version of g++ is not C++17-compliant be default, add the -std=c++17
option.
Alternatively, if using autoconf, use the following in configure.ac:
PKG_CHECK_MODULES([LIBXMLXX], [libxml++-5.0])
Then use the generated LIBXMLXX_CFLAGS
and LIBXMLXX_LIBS
variables in the project Makefile.am
files. For example:
program_CPPFLAGS = $(LIBXMLXX_CFLAGS)
program_LDADD = $(LIBXMLXX_LIBS)
