The extra headers from Boost::serialisation are consistent and are well-formed XML.  Couldn't you write some code to strip that out at the end?

Make your own archive derived from   xml_?archive.

Unfortunately, this application does not like     the extra stuff that the serialization library generates.

The code     below generates XML that looks like this:
    <?xml     version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
    <!DOCTYPE     boost_serialization>
        <boost_serialization signature="serialization::archive"     version="5">
    <MYTAG     class_id="0" tracking_level="0" version="0"></MYTAG>
        </boost_serialization>

What I need is XML that looks more     like this:
    <?xml     version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
        <MYTAG></MYTAG>

What can I do to eliminate the     extra stuff?

Thanks,
PaulH

class MyClass
{
private:
    friend class     boost::serialization::access;

        template<class Archive>
    void     serialize(Archive &ar, const unsigned int version){};

public:
        MyClass(){};
    friend     std::ostream & operator<<(std::ostream &os, const MyClass     &gp);
    virtual     ~MyClass(){};
};

int main( int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]     )
{ 
    MyClass     mc;

    std::ofstream     ofs("MyFile.xml");
        boost::archive::xml_oarchive oa(ofs);
    oa <<     boost::serialization::make_nvp( "MYTAG", mc );

    return     0;
}
