Creating XML from existing C++ classes

[Doogle]

Hi

I have a complex data model within an exisitng C++ OOD Application.

I am trying to think of a nice way to create XML based on these C++ classes?

Anybody got any ideas?

Cheers

Steve

Use a tool that can read the class definitions,
use those definitions to define XML structures
and generate XML reader/writer code for those classes.

The DMS Software Reengineering Toolkit is generalized
compiler technology that has a full C++ front end.
It could be used to do this.

Doogle,

You could use SOAP serialization and borrow from some of the web service
libraries - here is the SoapSerializer from apache - ws-axis.

There are also a handful of xml libraries to choose from:

How do you think about to use the tool "OpenC++" for introspection?
