Thank you very much for you information. The other c/c++ implementation what I know is lasso. Do you know any other implementation?
Thanks

I doubt it. Much of the new XML work is handled by macros, but the overall
DOM management model is designed around Xerces' behavior, and last I knew
libxml2 didn't even support DOM directly.
They also differ greatly in string use. Xerces uses 16 bit Unicode and
libxml2 uses UTF-8 externally. That is pervasively exposed in this library
to avoid any unwanted conversions.
On top of that, you'd have to redo the security code with the xmlsec library
that uses libxml2.

I would say you need to find a SAML library that uses libxml2. XML
encapsulation would have defeated the entire reason for my library. It's a
goal, it's just not my goal.
