Description: A simple set of classes, wxXml2Namespace, wxXml2Property, wxXml2Node, wxXml2DTD and wxXml2Document, that interfaces wxWidgets with libxml2. With this component you can add load/save/edit XML support to your wxWidgets application using all the power of a well-known library like libxml2. The full support for DTDs allows you to easily check your XML documents & thus to produce well-formed XML files. Unicode and shared builds are completely supported as well.

Usage sample

// parse an XML file
wxXml2Document doc;
if (!doc.Load("myfile.xml"))
return false;

// start processing the XML file
if (doc.GetRoot()->GetName() != "myroot-node")
return false;

wxXml2Node *child = doc.GetRoot()->GetChildren();
while (child) {

        if (child->GetName() == "tag1") {

                // process text enclosed by tag1/tag1
                wxString content = child->GetNodeContent();

                ...

                // process attributes of tag1
                wxString attrvalue1 =
                child->GetProperty("attr1", "default-value");
                wxString attrvalue2 =
                child->GetProperty("attr2", "default-value");

                ...

        } else if (child->GetName() == "tag2") {

                // process tag2 ...
        }

        child = child->GetNext();
}

Obviously, since wxXml2 is not an application but just a wrapper for the libxml2 library, the following screenshots refers to the sample app included with this module which shows how much easy is to get the tree structure of an XML doc through wxXml2 classes:
