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
