+Xerces-C++ is faithful to the XML 1.0 recommendation and many associated
+standards.
+
+The parser provides high performance, modularity, and scalability. Source code,
+samples and API documentation are provided with the parser. For portability,
+care has been taken to make minimal use of templates, no RTTI, and minimal use
+of #ifdefs.
