Creating XML in C++ Code

Question

In my project there are situations where we have to send xml messages (as char *) among modules. They are not really large ones, just 10-15 lines. Right now everybody just creates the string themselves. I dont think this is the right approach. We are already using xerces DOM library. So why not create a Dom tree, serialize it, and then send it.

What do you guys suggest?

Answer 1

If you are really just creating small XML messages, Xerces is an overkill, IMHO. It is a parser library and you are not parsing anything.
