In a C++ application I am developing, I need to load svg files, then access and manipulate their dom model and at the and render them.
I know I can render the svg with cairo, but how can I access and manipulate the dom model objects?
Is there a library in C++?

Fast and stable (I used it in mission critical projects): xerces-c, apache.org http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c/

Qt XML, Qt framework is also excellent http://doc.trolltech.com/2.3/xml.html
Qt also has svg render
