The library supports a version of XML (at least for writing, right now), 
but is not limited to that.

The goals of the library are to be fast, generic, and easy to use.
The focus of the library is on data, not on arbitrary structure, so
it just supports a hierarchy or list of values, no graphs right now.
You can check it out here: https://github.com/owacoder/cppdatalib.
The readme referenced in the link provides a bit more of an overview
of what the library is like.
