This section lists some design decisions that have been during the development of the library.

The output streams do not accept a grammar during construction for validation :

  • validation can only occur once the document is complete
  • failed validation usually throws an exception
  • the xml::xofstream uses RAII to flush the document to file in its destructor
  • a destructor must not throw
  • anyway it's simple enough to re-open the output stream with an input stream for validation afterwards
