Hi all,
I've to parse an XML file within Pro/Toolkit application (C/C++ based of course)
Xercesc libraries are included in toolkit distribution but unfortunatly headers are not
I've also tried to use windows "native" MSXML but I can't include <msxml.h> without error from my Visual C++ project configured to build Creo auxiliary apps
Any help/suggestion will be appreciated
Regards,
Fred
In our Pro/TOOLKIT projects we use the XML functionalities of the platform independent POCO C++ Libraries (http://pocoproject.org/).

Thanks Patrick,
I will do the same ; currently it's Xerces 2.8.0 for Creo 2.0

What a cool day, this post goes back to front
Just to tell you that I finally link with Xerces 2.8.0 for Creo 2.0 for this development and it works fine
For another customization, you use to LibXML2 from xmlsoft.org and it also works fine
If you have other experience, please send feeback
I'm just finishing up my first Pro/Toolkit project using XML data files. I had no idea that Creo Parametric used Xerces C++ internally. I checked the DLL's in Creo 3.0 M050 and found xercesc280mt.dll, which implies that Creo 3.0 also uses Xerces 2.8.0. I'm glad that Frédéric got Xerces to work for him.
For my project, I downloaded of Xerces C++, 3.1.2, which was released in March 2015. It linked it with my Pro/Toolkit application and supported SAX2 parsing, DOM parsing, schema validation and XInclude. This project has had 10 test deployments so far, so I don't expect to find any compatibility issues between Xerces C++ 3.1.2 and either Creo 2.0 or Creo 3.0.
Supporting XML data in your application is a lot of work, especially the first time you do it. If you're going to invest that time, it's a good idea to get the latest version your project can support. The Apache Software Foundation, which produces Xerces, states at the bottom of the Xerces C++ Homepage that versions 2.8.0 and earlier are no longer supported.
