Creating XmlReader in C++

Question

 

Hi,

I want to read an xml file from C++ but I don't what which header to include here. Is there any XmlReader Class for C++ and if there is how do I include it in the project ?

 

Thanks

Answer 1

Hi,

You have several options - both included in the Windows SDK and 3rd party libs. I would suggest to start here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/ms752838.aspx

There you will find the XmlLite which has IXmlReader (I guess, exactly what you are looking for): http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/ms752743.aspx

 

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Hi,

As far as I know, there is no XmlReader class in Windows Runtime reference,
But, I think you can use XmlDocument class and some classes in Windows.Data.Xml.Dom namespace to instead some functions in XmlReader class.

Best regards,
Jesse

@ Jesse Jiang

You are correct that the XmlReader class is not available in the WinRT reference ... However, some COM based APIs are available:

@Sam Here is a sample of how to use the API: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/ms753116.aspx
