After writing my blog post Don’t Form XML Using String Concatenation, I realized that writing a C++ System.Xml.XmlWriter workalike involves some interesting challenges. Therefore, I’ve decided to write a series of blog posts about building a streaming C++ XML generator, a.k.a. IXmlWriter, step-by-step. For this series, I will follow the practice of test-driven development and write a test case followed by an implementation which passes the test case. Future posts’ test cases will be constructed to illustrate bugs in or new features desired from the previous post’s implementation. The test cases will be constructed with the goal of having IXmlWriter be as similar to System.Xml.XmlWriter as possible.
