<s1 title="Programming Guide">
<p>This Programming Guide is for &XercesCName; version &XercesC3Version;.</p>
<p>Independent of the API you want to use, DOM, SAX, or SAX2, your
application must initialize the &XercesCProjectName; system
before using the API, and terminate it after you are done. This
is achieved by the following code:</p>
<source>
#include <xercesc/util/PlatformUtils.hpp>
// Other include files, declarations, and non-&XercesCName; initializations.
using namespace xercesc;
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
try {
XMLPlatformUtils::Initialize();
}
catch (const XMLException& toCatch) {
// Do your failure processing here
return 1;
}
// Do your actual work with &XercesCName; here.
XMLPlatformUtils::Terminate();
// Other terminations and cleanup.
return 0;
}</source>
<p><code>XMLPlatformUtils::Initialize()</code> and
<code>XMLPlatformUtils::Terminate</code> must be called at
least once in each process. You are allowed to call
<code>XMLPlatformUtils::Initialize()</code> and
<code>XMLPlatformUtils::Terminate</code> multiple times, but
each call to <code>XMLPlatformUtils::Initialize()</code> must
be matched with a call to
<code>XMLPlatformUtils::Terminate</code>.</p>
