Before you get too far, consider whether building a DOM is the best approach for your needs. For many applications, SAX is more appropriate. DOM is useful if you want to manipulate a tree of nodes, but requires that you 1) keep the tree around as long as you want to work on it and 2) understand how to navigate the tree. SAX is useful if you want to build your own representation of the data as the document is parsed. It doesn't create any representation on its own. I tend to use SAX for parsing documents and DOM for building them.
http://xml.apache.org/xerces-c/program.html has sections on both DOM and SAX. I hope your "tight schedule" allows adequate time for you to understand the APIs you need to use, or your project may be doomed from the outset. > -----Original Message----- > From: Thomas Porschberg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, September 25, 2003 6:49 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Using XML-File as config for a win32-prog > (Parsing in C++) > > > I'm myself a newbie but maybe DOMCount example is more > suitable for you ?! > > thomas > On Thu, Sep 25, 2003 at 12:00:33PM +0200, Oliver Keineke wrote: > > I have to write a program that can be used as shell-replacement on > > NT/2k-machines... is intended to be able to start and > monitor different applications > > on customer PCs. > > An XML-File is used for configuration....
