I am not sure what you mean by "complicated". IMO, handling a complex
schema with C++/Parser is much more complicated than with C++/Tree
since you have to implement parsers, connect them, etc.

Perhaps what you mean is that parsing a large XML document is not
practical because of the memory consumption, etc (this is #1 reason
to prefer C++/Parser over C++/Tree). In this case, take a look at
the 'streaming' example which shows how to implement streaming
parsing with C++/Tree.

As I explained in my previous email, C++/Parser was designed to handle
simple, "well designed" schema. It is not meant to handle complex
schema with include/import cycles, etc., simply because anyone who
decides to use C++/Parser with such a schema will quickly give up
because of the amount of work involved in implementing all the
parsers.
