XML::Xerces is the Perl API to the Apache project's Xerces XML parser. It
is implemented using the Xerces C++ API, and it provides access to *most*
of the C++ API from Perl.
Because it is based on Xerces-C, XML::Xerces provides a validating XML
parser that makes it easy to give your application the ability to read and
write XML data. Classes are provided for parsing, generating, manipulating,
and validating XML documents. XML::Xerces is faithful to the XML 1.0
recommendation and associated standards (DOM levels 1,2, and 3, SAX 1 and
2, Namespaces, and W3C XML Schema). The parser provides high performance,
modularity, and scalability, and provides full support for Unicode.
XML::Xerces implements the vast majority of the Xerces-C API (if you notice
any discrepancies please mail the list <URL:
mailto:xerces-p-dev@xml.apache.org> ). The exception is some functions in
the C++ API which either have better Perl counterparts (such as file I/O)
or which manipulate internal C++ information that has no role in the Perl
module.
