XML Schema-- Does ANY C++ lib support it??

[kaoruAngel <cl...@athenet.net>]

Hello,

I've been planning to use XML for data exchange in a ( C++ ) project of
mine, and initially chose Apache's Xerces-C C++ library. This was, however,
before I knew much about XML at all. I've now read through most of the
techincal details of XML and it's related technologies, and am in love with
the added control over the types of data given by schemas. It's also just
know that I'm realizing that Xerces does not support them... Does ANY XML
library exist that supports the XML Schema draft?? It seems as if there
*are* a few options out there, but are only solutions for Java development.

BTW, it must also be a cross-platform ( win32, linux, mac, at least )
solution ( duh ;p ).

Any and all guidance would be appreciated, as the decision to use DTD's or
schemas is holding most further development from taking place.

May I really work with the Java easily from within my C++ code?

Well, you have mentioned one of the major reasons I had dismissed Java as a
solution - it's slow. Most apps made in it are slow, and it has a reputation
for that.

The second reason would be that I don't know Java! ;p
I've had small experience with languages other than C++ ( C, VB,
JavaScript,... ) but I am really a C++ person. I am fairly unintelligable
when it comes to Java. Will it bring another dependency to the project, as
well? Would taking that route be a fairly major time committment, since I
have no real experience with Java?

Thank you for your help. Hopefully someone will surprise me with a C++
library that supports them :)

I don't know of a C++ solution to your problems, but if I might ask you
this: can you mix the Java and C++ code you have together?  Using the
JNI you should be able to access the Java parser/whatever from C++.  The
downside will be speed to some degree (although on the mac and linux
sides, that should be less of a problem.  They have some pretty good
people working on the java stuff these days)

In any case, good luck!
Cem
