I was wondering if anyone had any experience loading COLLADA files using Xerces C++. I know most loaders I have found use libxml.

Why don't you just use the Collada DOM API? It does all the element parsing for you.

Because it uses either TinyXML or libXML, and since I already have an XML library (Xerces) in my project, it would be silly to have a second.

Wouldn't it be equally silly to re-write code to parse every dom element, perform schema validation etc?

The Collada DOM API is more than just an "XML parser".

Well what I was looking at was using Xerces to parse & validate the XML, right now they use TinyXML or libXML to do the parsing, so I just want to sub in Xerces instead.
