One big difference between Xerces-C++ and Libxml2 is that the latter does not have a functional XML Schema validator. I don't know if it is important to you or not. Also note that much of the speed-up of Libxml2 compared to Xerces-C++ comes from the fact that Xerces-C++ uses 2-byte characters (UTF-16) while Libxml2 uses 1-byte characters (UTF-8). Since most performance tests that I am aware of are done on XML files that are either ASCII or UTF-8, Libxml2 has a natural advantage here. This is also something to consider depending on the type of applications you are planning to build. hth, -boris -- Boris Kolpackov Code Synthesis Tools CC http://www.codesynthesis.com Open-Source, Cross-Platform C++ XML Data Binding
