libcxml
-------

This is a very small library which provides a slightly tidier C++ API than libxml++
for parsing HTML.

For example:

cxml::Document doc ("RootNodeName");
doc.read ("foo.xml");

/* Get the contents of child node <Fred>, throwing an exception if it does not exist */
string s = doc.string_child ("Fred");

/* Get the contents of child node <Jim>, or 42 if it does not exist */
int i = doc.optional_number_child<int> ("Jim").get_value_or (42);

/* Get the contents of <Roger> within <Sheila>, throwing an exception if either node
   is not present.
*/
double d = doc.node_child("Sheila").number_child<double> ("Roger");

For full details, see src/cxml.h

To build:
./waf configure
./waf build
sudo ./waf install
