Sam Blackburn has announced release 43 of his Win32 Foundation Classes, which have XML support independent of MSXML.

Although the classes are aimed at a broader range of programming activities than XML, Blackburn has included a non-validating XML parser. The XML classes are apparently easily ported to the Unix platform. Support is included for object serialization into XML.

Documentation and examples are available from the WFC homepage. The classes are freeware.
