-Xerces (named after the Xerces Blue butterfly) provides world-class XML
-parsing and generation. Fully-validating parsers are available for both
-Java and C++, implementing the W3C XML and DOM (Level 1 and 2) standards,
-as well as the defacto SAX (version 2) standard. The parsers are highly
-modular and configurable. Initial support for XML Schema (draft W3C
-standard) is also provided.
+Xerces-C++ is a validating XML parser written in a portable subset of
+C++. Xerces-C++ 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.
-This package provides the C++ version of Xerces.
+Xerces-C++ is faithful to the XML 1.0 recommendation and many
+associated standards.
