I also wanted to point out that David Lonie (with minimal guidance
from me as his mentor) added a CML reader to the Visualization Toolkit
(VTK) as part of his Google Summer of Code project last year. I also
have a C++/Qt plugin for Avogadro that reads CML directly and displays
the document structure (not yet merged) and am experimenting with CML
and JSON in the context of the work we are doing at Kitware.

These are very much C++ oriented, with some wrapping in other
languages, and a strong emphasis on libxml2 for the XML parsing. I
have fixed the occasional bug in the Open Babel CML reader too, and
was looking at the possibility augmenting it so that we could produce
newer CML variants.

There are various pieces of code I could point to, and in order to
better use CML with richer output expected from NWChem I expect to
extend our approach significantly.
