Dear Rajeshkumar,

Even though the ROOT does provide a bunch of the convenient C++ classes to manage XML files and structures, the ROOT user is not limited with these classes.

Your ROOT C++ code is just a C++ code. That means you are free to use the other third party XML (or any other) C libraries / C++ class libraries directly too.

Best Regards

                         Valeri Fine
