There's another C++ implementation: QtXmlPatterns, although we(Trolltech)
haven't announced on these XML lists yet.
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/qtxmlpatterns.html
I believe it's fairly similar to XQilla in-scope(haven't looked into Zorba).
I'd say the advantages of QtXmlPatterns in the 4.4 release is:
* Portability: windows, OS X, Linux, Windows CE, Unix, etc; most platforms
that the Qt framework runs on
* Easy to use; ok documentation, simple value based classes
* Open source, but commercially backed
* Suitable for easy integration with other C++ code. For instance, one of the
examples runs an XQuery on top of the widget hierarchy in the current running
program.
However, QtXmlPatterns doesn't sport schema validation and it doesn't have a
database backend.
Cheers,
Frans
