Shared Memory to XML Config File

I'm working on a project to cleanup our current XML handling code. We
basically just dump our shared memory information (a set of C structs that
represent configuration data) to an XML configuration file and vice-versa.
The shared memory is accessed through accessor functions, so I don't have
direct access to the structs. The goal is to create a clean layer between
the shared memory and our XML configuration file. I'm curious if anyone has
done anything like this or has anything to share about doing this in a
clean, extensible way.

I've looked online, but haven't been able to find anything helpful. I've
been reading up on libxml2 (this is the library we use) and in of itself, it
seems to be overly complex for what we need to do. It's probably the right
tool, but I think I would need to create wrappers around it to read/write
xml to make it simpler to update when we add new structures to our shared
memory.

I hope this is the right place to be asking these questions, if not, let me
know where I should be posting. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

You might want to look at my Mini-XML library:

It is designed exactly for this sort of thing...

Hi, a customer is using our fairly memory intensive web app. in a shared hosting environment and the other day their host 'banned' (I think they just killed the process) them for memory abuse. Our app. has been profiled with SciTech's Mem Profiler, and it seems that some of the issues relate to .NET bugs, but are alleviated by use of System.GC.Collect(). I'm under the impression that it's generally bad form to call this yourself, but at...
