> Vote Question > ==>  Which INTERFACE should be the Xerces-C++ public supported W3C DOM Interface, DOM or IDOM? <=== My vote:  IDOM - I prefer IDOM over DOM. The smart pointer does not buy me much compared to an official Apache DOM C++ Binding.  Agree with Joseph, I think abstract base classes is more standard-like and is the right way to go. - With DOM-IDOM integration, although IDOM will be hidden, it is still a dual interface maintenace. From Xerces-C++ active committer perspective, I would prefer focus on IDOM only.   The old DOM interface can be kept for compatibility, but we don't want to upgrade it with those DOM Level 3 interface, and dual maintain both DOMParser and IDOMParser.
