C++ XML is a book exclusively devoted to the power and complexities of integrating XML
standards into C++. As a developer,this is a book you cannot miss. C++ XML addresses all major
standards,toolkits,and types of applications dealing with XML as a format for representing and
exchanging data,as well as XML behavior,from a C++ standpoint. It explains the implementation
of applications and reusuable frameworks for all major XML purposes exclusively using C/C++
parsers and toolkits, such as expat,Xerces,Xalan,libxml2,and Microsoft’s MSXML.
Fabio Arciniegas is the Chief Technical Officer of postgraphy (http://www.postgraphy.com/),
where he applies his C++ and XML expertise to the development of visual knowledge and image
processing applications. He is an active participant in the XML community, both as a developer
and as a writer. His contributions include the development of the C++ implementation of the
TREX language, XLink software, and numerous articles (especially in http://www.xml.com/) and
tutorial programs dealing with XML technologies. He participates frequently as a speaker at
XML-related conferences and tutorials, including XML Developers Conference, O’Reilly Open
Source Conference, and XML and Distributed Applications (where he is the chair), among others.
About the Technical Reviewers

the material for technical content, organization, and flow. Their feedback was critical to ensuring
that C++ XML fits our readers’ need for the highest-quality technical information.
