| Introduction |
| Xerces-C++ comes with sample applications that demonstrate salient features of the parser. They are simple applications written on top of the SAX and DOM APIs provided by the parser. Sample XML data files are provided in the `samples/data` directory.
| Running the Samples |
| The sample applications are dependent on the Xerces-C++ shared library (and could also depend on the ICU library if you built Xerces-C++ with ICU). Therefore, on Windows platforms you must make sure that your `PATH` environment variable is set properly to pick up these shared libraries at runtime. On UNIX platforms you must ensure that `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` environment variable is set properly to pick up the shared libraries at runtime. (UNIX gurus will understand here that `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` actually translates to `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` on Solaris and Linux, `SHLIB_PATH` on HP-UX, `DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH` on Mac OS X, and `LIBPATH` on AIX). On both Windows and UNIX platforms, if the parser is built with the ICU message loader or message catalog loader, then you may need to set another environment variable, `XERCESC_NLS_HOME`, to point to the xerces-c-3.2.3/msg directory, which is where the message files reside. Once you have set up the environment variables, you can run the samples by opening a command window (or your shell prompt for UNIX environments).

| SAXCount SAXCount counts the elements, attributes, spaces and characters in an XML file. SAXPrint SAXPrint parses an XML file and prints it out. SAX2Count SAX2Count counts the elements, attributes, spaces and characters in an XML file. SAX2Print SAX2Print parses an XML file and prints it out. DOMCount DOMCount counts the elements in a XML file. DOMPrint DOMPrint parses an XML file and prints it out. CreateDOMDocument CreateDOMDocument creates a DOM tree in memory from scratch. MemParse MemParse parses XML in a memory buffer, printing the number of elements and attributes. Redirect Redirect redirects the input stream for external entities. PParse PParse demonstrates progressive parsing. StdInParse StdInParse demonstrates streaming XML data from standard input. EnumVal EnumVal shows how to enumerate the markup declarations in a DTD Grammar. SEnumVal SEnumVal shows how to enumerate the markup declarations in a Schema Grammar. PSVIWriter PSVIWriter exposes the underlying PSVI of the parsed XML file. SCMPrint SCMPrint parses an XSD file and prints information about the Schema Component Model. XInclude XInclude parses an XML file and writes a new XML file with the xi:include elements expanded.
