It consists of a DOM-like + interface with rich traversal/modification capabilities, an extremely fast + XML parser which constructs the DOM tree from an XML file/buffer, and an + XPath 1.0 implementation for complex data-driven tree queries. Full Unicode + support is also available, with <a class="link" href="manual/dom.html#manual.dom.unicode" title="Unicode interface">two Unicode + interface variants</a> and conversions between different Unicode encodings + (which happen automatically during parsing/saving). The library is <a class="link" href="manual/install.html#manual.install.portability" title="Portability">extremely portable</a> and easy to + integrate and use. pugixml is developed and maintained since 2006 and has + many users. All code is distributed under the MIT license, making it completely + free to use in both open-source and proprietary applications. + </p> +<p> + pugixml enables very fast, convenient and memory-efficient XML document processing. + However, since pugixml has a DOM parser, it can't process XML documents that + do not fit in memory; also the parser is a non-validating one, so if you + need DTD/Schema validation, the library is not for you. + </p> +<p> + This is the complete manual for pugixml, which describes all features of + the library in detail. If you want to start writing code as quickly as possible, + you are advised to <a href="quickstart.html" target="_top">read the quick start guide + first</a>. + </p> +<div class="note"><table border="0" summary="Note"> +<tr> +<td rowspan="2" align="center" valign="top" width="25"><img alt="[Note]" src="images/note.png"></td> +<th align="left">Note</th> +</tr> +<tr><td align="left" valign="top"><p> + No documentation is perfect, neither is this one.

Be sure to include the relevant information so that + the bug can be reproduced: the version of pugixml, compiler version and target + architecture, the code that uses pugixml and exhibits the bug, etc. + </p> +<p> + Feature requests can be reported the same way as bugs, so if you're missing + some functionality in pugixml or if the API is rough in some places and you + can suggest an improvement, file an issue. However please note that there + are many factors when considering API changes (compatibility with previous + versions, API redundancy, etc.), so generally features that can be implemented + via a small function without pugixml modification are not accepted. However, + all rules have exceptions. + </p> +<p> + If you have a contribution to pugixml, such as build script for some build + system/IDE, or a well-designed set of helper functions, or a binding to some + language other than C++, please file an issue.
