<s1 title="Programming Guide">

	<p>Independent of the API you want to use, DOM, SAX, or SAX2, your
      application must initialize the &XercesCProjectName; system
      before using the API, and terminate it after you are done. This
      is achieved by the following code:</p>
<source>
#include &lt;xercesc/util/PlatformUtils.hpp&gt;
// Other include files, declarations, and non-&XercesCName; initializations.
XERCES_CPP_NAMESPACE_USE 
  
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
  try {
    XMLPlatformUtils::Initialize();
  }
  catch (const XMLException&amp; toCatch) {
    // Do your failure processing here
    return 1;
  }

  // Do your actual work with &XercesCName; here.

  XMLPlatformUtils::Terminate();

  // Other terminations and cleanup.
  return 0;
}</source>


<p><code>XMLPlatformUtils::Initialize()</code> and
         <code>XMLPlatformUtils::Terminate</code> must be called at
         least once in each process. You are allowed to call
         <code>XMLPlatformUtils::Initialize()</code> and
         <code>XMLPlatformUtils::Terminate</code> multiple times, but
         each call to <code>XMLPlatformUtils::Initialize()</code> must
         be matched with a call to
         <code>XMLPlatformUtils::Terminate</code>.</p>
