XMLPULL in C++

 Hi, 
 
I've looked around a bit on Google and xmlpull.org, but can't see 
any signs of a C++ implementation of XMLPULL. 
 
Being impulsive, and being frustrated by the restrictions SAX2 
imposes upon my design (I want de/serialisable XML objects), the 
other night I had a go at writing a C++ pull parser implementing 
parts of the API.  I don't aim to make it perfect (yet), just 
usable. I got it compiling and running yesterday, but very 
imperfectly. 
 
I'm tidying up the first pass now, and I have a few questions, most 
relevantly: 
 
* Am I duplicating the efforts of someone else? 
 
But more specifically, when pondering how to expand / escape quoted 
attribute values (it seems that \ escaping isn't used, &entity; 
escaping is): 
 
* If entities encountered in attribute values should be expanded, 
should this be signalled as a token? On the one hand you might want 
the user to know about his user-defined entities, on the other, how 
would this work, when a start tag as a whole is a token in itself? 
 
i.e. How should this look, when parsing using XMLPULL? 
 
<tag attribute="some user defined &entity; &amp; another"> 
 
 
Thanks, 
 
Nick
