Introduction

Xerces-C++ is a validating XML-parser for C++. It can be used for reading xml-files, checking them for validity and writing them back. Checking for validity means that a xml-file is tested whether it conforms to a specified syntax (DTD or XML Schema).

In the Gaudi-framework Xerces-C is used for producing C++-classes which describe the event-data and their meta-information through xml-files. The detector-data is also described with the means of XML-files. The conversion from the xml-data into the Gaudi framework is also done with Xerces-C.

Installation

See the LCG SPI Xerces-C page for package availability and downloads.

To install the libraries locally, download the .zip- and .tar.gz-files for windows and linux and extract them to the desired location.
