This utilizes the fact that pages are of limited size so we can store offset from the object to the page in a few bits - we currently use 24 although that's excessive given that pages are limited to ~512k. This has several benefits: - Pages do not have to be 64b aligned any more - this simplifies allocation flow and frees up 40-50 bytes from xml_document::_memory. - Header now has 8 bits available for metadata for both compact and default mode which makes it possible to store type as-is (allowing easy type extension and removing one add/sub operation from type checks). - One extra bit is easily available for future metadata extension (in addition to the bit for type encoding that could be reclaimed if necessary). - Allocators that return 4b-aligned memory on 64-bit platforms work fine if misaligned reads are supported. The downside is that there is one or two extra instructions on the allocation path. This does not seem to hurt parsing performance. |

pugixml

pugixml is a C++ XML processing library, which consists of a DOM-like interface with rich traversal/modification capabilities, an extremely fast XML parser which constructs the DOM tree from an XML file/buffer, and an XPath 1.0 implementation for complex data-driven tree queries. Full Unicode support is also available, with Unicode interface variants and conversions between different Unicode encodings (which happen automatically during parsing/saving).
pugixml is used by a lot of projects, both open-source and proprietary, for performance and easy-to-use interface.
Documentation
Documentation for the current release of pugixml is available on-line as two separate documents:
- Quick-start guide, that aims to provide enough information to start using the library;
- Complete reference manual, that describes all features of the library in detail.
You’re advised to start with the quick-start guide; however, many important library features are either not described in it at all or only mentioned briefly; if you require more information you should read the complete manual.
