+
Boost is used in a variety of Open Source Projects, both
+ applications and libraries. Indeed many Open Source libraries
+ developed around Boost have in the past been judged of high
+ enough quality to be absorbed into the main Boost source tree,
+ a process that will no doubt continue into the future. Others
+ are in highly specialized niche markets, ranging from
+ probability theory to astronomy, via mass spectroscopy:
+ whatever your field of interest you'll find something of value
+ in Boost.

CodeSynthesis XML Schema to C++ Data Binding Compiler (XSD)
+ by Code Synthesis Tools CC
+
+
CodeSynthesis XML
+ Schema to C++ Data Binding Compiler (XSD) is an
+ open-source, cross-platform XML Data Binding implementation for
+ C++. Provided with an XML instance specification (XML Schema),
+ it generates C++ classes that represent the given vocabulary as
+ well as parsing and serialization code. You can then access the
+ data stored in XML using types and functions that semantically
+ correspond to your application domain rather than dealing with
+ elements, attributes, and text in a direct representation of
+ XML such as DOM or SAX.
+
+
XSD uses Boost.Regex and
+ Boost.FileSystem
+ libraries from Boost. Boost.Regex is
+ used to perform transformations on file, type and member names.
+ Boost.FileSystem
+ is used to capture and manipulate XML Schema include and import
+ paths. Additionally, we are planning to provide an optional
+ mapping of XML Schema date and time types to C++ types from the
+ Boost Boost.DateTime
+ library.
