consider not to re-implement a full XML library
So a non-wrapper Boost.JSON like Boost.XML would be very interesting. Perhaps even like Boost.JSON, and controversially, foregoing SAX and only do DOM.
One thing I forgot to mention, is that an explicit goal of any Boost.XML API, wrapper or not, should be to replicate Peter's Boost.Describe "data-binding" examples to convert JSON "values" to described C++ structures, but in the XML space. Can your attempt at an XML API do that Stefan? That would be a very compelling Boost.XML IMHO. Even w/o any SAX support. --DD [1] https://github.com/pdimov/describe/blob/develop/example/to_json.cpp [2] https://github.com/pdimov/describe/blob/develop/example/from_json.cpp
