Description: 
libxml++ is a C++ wrapper for the libxml2 XML parser library. Its original
author is Ari Johnson and it is currently maintained by Christophe de Vienne
and Murray Cumming.

Note: libxml++ is designed to be parallel installed with other API versions of the library, several of which are actively maintained. Fedora has a libxml++ and a libxml++30 already. I need libxml++50 in order to update lincity-ng.
