Checking the Xerces-C++ webpage, I saw there are two major branches of the parser:
Version 2.8.0 and Version 3.1.1

What are the main differences between those two? (couldn't find any summary on their page)
Which one should I choose for starting a brand new Visual Studio 2010 C++ project?

Thanks for any help

A quick google showed up this: http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c/migrate-archive-3.html#Migrateto300 maybe it helps. – PlasmaHH Aug 26 '11 at 08:39

already answered by PlasmaHH with migrate to v3
There are pre-built binary distributions and ready-made project files for Visual Studio 2010 available only for Xerces-C++ v3.

Xerces-C++ v2 supports Visual Studio up to version 2005.

Therefore I suggest to go with Xerces-C++ v3.
