Hi Dan, Parsing a file is no different than parsing a memory buffer (or any other input source). They all use BinInputStream internally if you look at the Xerces-C++ implementation. All you need to do is create the MemBufInputSource and pass it to parser's parse() method (see the API doc http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c/apiDocs/classAbstractDOMParser.html#b6 fbd6cdf84cce77db1c780017d107dd).
DOM parser's parse() method is overloaded to accept a system id (a file path or URL) or an InputSource, which can be a LocalFileInputSource, a URLInputSource, a StdInInputSource, a Wrapper4DOMInputSource, or a MemBufInputSource (see http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c/apiDocs/classInputSource.html).

We would like to be able to send a MemBufInputSource (or derivation) via our library to xerces so we can parse XML which does not reside in a file. Is this possible, and could anyone share some examples or advice on how to go about this? Thanks
