| <s2 title="&XercesCName; Version &XercesC3Version;"> |
| |
| <p>&XercesCName; is a validating XML parser written in a portable subset of |
| C++. &XercesCName; makes it easy to give your application the ability to read and write |
| <jump href="http://www.w3.org/XML/">XML</jump> data. A shared |
| library is provided for parsing, generating, manipulating, and validating XML documents |
| using the DOM, SAX, and SAX2 APIs. For an introduction to programming |
| with &XercesCName; refer to the <jump href="program-&XercesC3Series;.html">Programming |
| Guide</jump>.</p> |
| |
| <p>&XercesCName; is faithful to the |
| <jump href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml">XML 1.0</jump> recommendation |
| and many associated standards (see <link anchor="Features">Features</link> below). |
| </p> |
| <p>The parser provides high performance, modularity, and scalability. Source |
| code, samples and API documentation are provided with the parser. For |
| portability, care has been taken to make minimal use of templates and minimal use of |
| #ifdefs.</p> |
| |
| </s2> |
| |
| <s2 title="Applications of the &XercesCProjectName; Parser"> |
| |
| <p>&XercesCProjectName; has rich generating and validating capabilities. The parser is used for:</p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>Building XML-savvy Web servers</li> |
| <li>Building next generation of vertical applications that use XML as |
| their data format</li> |
| <li>On-the-fly validation for creating XML editors</li> |
| <li>Ensuring the integrity of e-business data expressed in XML</li> |
| <li>Building truly internationalized XML applications</li> |
| </ul> |
