It is implemented using +the Xerces C++ API, and it provides access to all of the C++ API from +Perl. + +Because it is based on Xerces-C, Xerces.pm provides a validating XML parser +that makes it easy to give your application the ability to read and write +XML data. A shared library is provided for parsing, generating, manipulating, +and validating XML documents. Xerces.pm is faithful to the XML 1.0 +recommendation and associated standards ( DOM 1.0, DOM 2.0. SAX 1.0, SAX +2.0, Namespaces), The parser provides high performance, modularity, and +scalability. Source code, samples and API documentation are provided with +the parser. + +The majority of the API is created automatically using Simplified Wrapper +Interface Generator (SWIG). However, care has been taken to make most +method invocations natural to perl programmers, so a number of rough C++ +edges have been smoothed over (See the Special Perl API Features section). |
