Ok, using:

     GB_STRING v;
     v.type = GB_T_CSTRING;
     v.value.addr = atts[i+1];
     v.value.start = 0;
     v.value.len = strlen(atts[i+1]);
     GB.Conv((GB_VALUE *)&v, GB_T_VARIANT);
     GB.Collection.Set(col, atts[i], strlen(atts[i]), (GB_VARIANT *)&v);

work ok. Thanks!  No extra api needed.

libxml2 is a complete xml toolkit 
expat is only a very simple parser.

At this moment, only need a very simple parser, and already know it from PHP 
extension.

Ok,

Ok

Thanks again.
