If you are implementing a generic XML editor that should be able to
edit any XML documents then something like DOM would probably be
more appropriate.

If, on the other hand, you are creating a special-purpose XML editor
to edit documents belonging to a predefined set of XML vocabularies
(for which you have schemas) then the C++/Tree mapping is a good
choice.

Since you will want to save the modified documents back to XML, you will
need to generate serialization code with the --generate-serialization
option.

For more information on how to parse, modify, and serialize XML documents
using the C++/Tree mapping see the C++/Tree Mapping Getting Started Guide:
