+This is a C++ class for reading and writing XML structures.
+
+All informaton can be found in the generated doxygen project documentation.
+
+Rationale: The initial idea was to map C++ data structures to XML
+files for configuration files that can easily be edited by hand. This
+library does not need any kind of C++ code parser or special pre
+compiler. You can specify a schema entirly in native C++. The schema
+is verified when XML is read and exceptions are thrown when the XML to
+be pares is invalid. Exceptions specify exactly the location and
+reason of the problem, so that the editor of the XML file can easily
+find and correct the problem.
+
+(More rationale: See also "related Pages" in the doxygen project documentation)
+
+Structure of the files:
+  src:          The source code of the library
+  doc/html:     Doxygen documentation oft the library usage
+  doc/examples: Example code (included in doxygen documentation)
+  test:         CppUnit test files - can also be taken as examples
