You can do partially in-memory/partially streaming processing with
C++/Tree. See the 'streaming' example.

Probably the most reasonable approach for non-trivial schemas.

Either that or disable validation and then "fix-up" the XML at the DOM
level before handing it off to C++/Tree. There is no magic solution for
this problem.

You can try, though again for complex schemas it will be harder to use
than C++/Tree.

You are welcome. Hope you can make it work for your case.
