[xsd-users] XML Object to String/Text

You can use one of the serialization functions together with
std::ostringstream. For instance, in the library example there is
the this line:

// Write it out.
//
catalog_ (std::cout, *c, map);


You can replace it with something like this (also add #include <sstream>):


// Write it to string.
//
std::ostringstream ostr;

catalog_ (ostr, *c, map);

std::string str = ostr.str (); // XML is in str.

There is some sample DOM manipulation code on the Wiki, see for example
3.1 and 3.2:

The ostringstream way is much easier though.
