Welcome to the libxml-cpp-wrapper wiki!

This project is a simple library that wraps libxml's APIs in order to make it easier to C++ developers to use libxml. I created it because I don't like the way libxmlpp works and I wanted a simpler API.

As simple as:

 list<XMLNode> nodes;
 XMLReader reader(xml_string);
 reader.parse(nodes);
 XMLNode &node = *nodes.begin();
 string office_phone = node["Customer"]["ContactInfo"]["OfficePhone"].text;

for a xml like this:

<CustomerList>
    <Customer>
        <Name>John Smith</Name>
        <ContactInfo>
            <Address>22 Acacia Avenue</Address>
            <OfficePhone>123456</OfficePhone>
        </ContactInfo>
    </Customer>
</CustomerList>

Pre-requisites:

* libxml2
* cmake ( optional )

Installation

Option 1: Just copy the .cpp and .h files to your project and build it.

Option 2:

1. Clone git repository

git clone git://github.com/filipenf/libxml-cpp-wrapper.git

2. Build the project

 mkdir build && cd build
 cmake ../libxml-cpp-wrapper
 make && sudo make install

You can get some error while including libxml2 headers. The included path in the cmakelists is /usr/local/include/libxml2/, you can adjust it for your system.

After the instalation a library named xmlcppwrapper will be installed in your system. You should link your project to it.
