On Windows you may need to install a +third-party library which provides the XDR API. + +The example consists of the following files: + +library.xsd + XML Schema which describes a library of books. + +library.xml + Sample XML instance document. + +library.hxx +library.cxx + C++ types that represent the given vocabulary as well as data + representation stream insertion and extraction operations. These + are generated by XSD from library.xsd. Note that the + --generate-insertion and --generate-extraction options are used + to generate the insertion and extraction operations for XDR + stream. + +driver.cxx + Driver for the example. It first calls one of the parsing functions + that constructs the object model from the input XML file. It then + saves the object model to the XDR representation and loads it back. + Additionally, it prints the content of the object model before saving + it to the XDR representation and after loading it from the XDR + representation. + +To run the example on the sample XML instance document simply execute: + +$ ./driver library.xml |
