To use MLP Library you have to include main header file MlpLib.h into your source code. This will include necessary initialization macros and MlpParser object. Initialization macro MLP_LIB_CPP_INIT must be run before any other object from MLP Library is used. It should be run exactly once at the beginning of your code. There is also macro MLP_LIB_CPP_TERMINATE used to clean environment before exit. It should also be called exactly once at the and of your program. Be aware that all objects from MLP Library that were created should be deleted before MLP_LIB_CPP_TERMINATE macro call.

All magic that is done in the macros is wrapping around Xerces-c initialization a termination process. On the following code you can find sample initial program that is initializing a terminating environment.

#include <iostream>

#include <libmlp-cpp/MlpLib.hpp>


int main( int argc, char* argv[ ] )
{
    // Initialization of environment
    MLP_LIB_CPP_INIT;

    MlpParser * myMlpParser = new MlpParser();


    delete myMlpParser; // Delete before termination macro
                        // Use dynamically allocated MlpParser so you 
                        // can manually delete it before termination
                        // macro.

    // Initialization of environment
    MLP_LIB_CPP_TERMINATE;

    return 0;
