+This example shows how to perform stream-oriented, partially in-memory
+XML processing using the C++/Tree mapping. With the partially in-memory
+parsing and serialization only a part of the object model is in memory at
+any given time. With this approach we can process parts of the document
+as they become available as well as handle documents that are too large
+to fit into memory.
+
+The example consists of the following files:
+
+position.xsd
+ XML Schema which describes a simple object position vocabulary. The
+ position is represented as a potentially large series of latitude and
+ longitude measurements.
+
+position.xml
+ Sample object position document.
+
+position.hxx
+position.cxx
+ C++ types that represent the position vocabulary as well as parsing
+ and serialization functions. These are generated by XSD from
+ position.xsd.
+
+parser.hxx
+parser.cxx
+ Stream-oriented DOM parser implementation that is built on top of the
+ Xerces-C++ SAX2 parser in the progressive parsing mode. This parser
+ allows us to parse an XML document as a series of DOM fragments.
+
+serializer.hxx
+serializer.cxx
+ Stream-oriented DOM serializer implementation that allows us to
+ serialize an XML Document as a series of object model fragments.
+
+grammar-input-stream.hxx
+grammar-input-stream.cxx
+ Input stream implementation with the special-purpose schema grammar
+ decompression algorithm. It is used internally by the streaming parser.
+
+driver.cxx
+ Driver for the example. It parses the input file into a series of DOM
+ fragments which are then parsed into the object model fragments. The
+ driver prints the information from the document as it becomes available.
+ It also serializes the object model fragments into a new XML document
+ (out.xml).
+
+To run the example simply execute:
+
+$ ./driver position.xml
+
+The serialization results are written to the out.xml file.
