XML Data transfer between server and client

[Sudheer Tumuluru <st...@real.com>]

Hi,
        I am a newbie to XML and just found this mailing list. I looked
over the API and the sample code. The API looks pretty extensive but the
samples do not seem to use most of the classes. From a parser
implementation perspective, what are the classes I need to use/inherit?
        I need to interpret hierachically structured data sent from the
server in XML. What is the best approach: SAX or DOM? Is there a sample
program which parses an XML document and recreates it as a bunch of
C++ objects and vice-versa. I am confused regarding the extent to which
this library helps and whether I need to write additional classes to
support this... BTW, my development platform is Linux and I use
STL objects (lists, maps, etc.) to store/manipulate this data. Any help
is appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Sudheer
