Check out the MSXML parser (msdn.microsoft.com/xml).

Microsoft has extended SAX to include a writer class which can be attached
to readers.  It's really pretty neat, and very fast (given the whole thing
is done in COM, so there is a lot of virtual function overhead).

Plus, one can construct documents using DOM.

I am not saying these are the best ways, but they are standard :).
