[section:descr Introduction]
Originally libzeep came as a single library. But if you only need the XML functionality it might not be very useful to include all the networking code for the HTTP server. And so the libraries were split into modules that can be used independently from each other. There are some files that are shared by all libraries though
[heading The configuration file]
In the file `<zeep/config.hpp>` you can find a couple of flags that influence what parts of libzeep should be left out. The first is to enable building a __preforked_server__ class, probably only useful in a UNIX context.
The other flag allows the compilation of code that uses resources. Resources in a libzeep context are a bit different from their counterparts in MacOS and Windows. Libzeep uses `mrc` to bundle resources in an executable. Especially for small web applications this makes installation very easy at the cost of configurability. See [@https://github.com/mhekkel/mrc github pages for mrc] for more information.
[section:streambuf character array streambuf]
Sometimes it is very convenient to have a `std::istream` reading from a `const char*` buffer, the class __char_streambuf__ allows you to do just that.
[c++]
auto sb = zeep::char_streambuf("Hello, world!");
auto is = std::istream(&sb);
std::string line;
std::getline(is, line);

[section:unicode Unicode/text support]
Various simple routines used when working with UTF-8 encoded Unicode text. Routines that are so common, you really ask yourself why these are not part of the standard yet.
[endsect:unicode]
[section:serialization Serialization support]
Originally, libzeep could only serialize XML. Later, with the addition of a JSON library with its own serialization ideas, the two were merged somewhat and the overlapping code ended up here.
