-GMetaDOM is a collection of librares, each library providing a DOM
-implementation. Currently available bindings are for C++ (smart pointers)
-and Objective Caml.
-
-The basic idea is that, given the availability of DOM implementations for
-the C programming language (like Gdome2), and given the uniformity of the
-DOM interfaces, bindings for various programming languages based on the C
-implementation can be built automatically, providing a small number of hand-
-coded classes and a set of scripts for the automatic generation of the
-remaining ones.
-
-The advantages of such approach should be evident. In particular, for
-languages like C++ where a number of different alternative DOM implementations
-are feasible, each with different characteristics like easiness of use,
-runtime flexibility, resource requirements, the approach of automatic
-generation permits to create a set of coherent implementations addressing
-such issues separately, ultimately allowing the developer to choose the
-library which fits best her needs.
