You all say that, -it is really stable, -supports most plattforms and compiler, -it is standard conform, -there is a good documentation, -there is great support, -there is still improvement (IDOM, DOM3), -the developer are available by mail etc., -there is permanent bugfixing, -source available, -free of charge. -there are lot of people using Xerces (me to)
yes that is true. But just to choose a product because it is open source ? I dont know ..? There must be something more! There are a lot of open source projects I would never use. Compared to MSXML I would say: -MSXML is available for WIN32 only, -MSXML has some extensions (which are not in the standard) -see some mailings here, -MSXML is faster (I don't have the current specs) -if you have a bug in MSXML which is a really blocker you are lost :-( pls correct me if I am wrong For me the most important reason why to choose Xerces is the the multiplatform feature.
