One thing I forgot to mention, is that an explicit goal of any Boost.XML
API, wrapper or not,
should be to replicate Peter's Boost.Describe "data-binding" examples to
convert JSON "values"
to described C++ structures, but in the XML space. Can your attempt at an
XML API do that Stefan?
That would be a very compelling Boost.XML IMHO. Even w/o any SAX support.
