This example shows how to parse the XML data matched by XML Schema wildcards (any and anyAttribute) in the C++/Parser mapping. The example consists of the following files: email.xsd XML Schema which describes a simple email format with the extensible envelope type. email.xml Sample email message. email-pskel.hxx email-pskel.cxx Parser skeletons generated by the XSD compiler from email.xsd using the following command line: xsd cxx-parser email.xsd Or if using Expat instead of Xerces-C++ as the underlying XML parser: xsd cxx-parser --xml-parser=expat email.xsd driver.cxx Parser implementations and a driver for the example. The parser implementations simply print the data to STDERR. The driver first constructs parser instances from the parser implementations mentioned above and a couple of predefined parsers for the XML Schema built-in types. In then invokes the parser instances to parse the input file. To compile and link the example manually from the command line we can use the following commands (replace 'c++' with your C++ compiler name): c++ -c email-pskel.cxx c++ -c driver.cxx c++ -o driver driver.o email-pskel.o -lxerces-c Or if using Expat as the underlying XML parser: c++ -o driver driver.o email-pskel.o -lexpat To run the example on the sample XML instance document execute: ./driver email.xml
