I’m looking for a C/C++ library that can convert MathML to infix and infix to MathML, eg given:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML">
  <apply>
    <times/>
    <cn type="integer"> 2 </cn>
    <ci> x </ci>
  </apply>
</math>

the library will convert the mathml to 2*x. Or given x+sin (t) I get the following mathml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML">
  <apply>
    <plus/>
    <ci> x </ci>
    <apply>
      <sin/>
      <ci> t </ci>
    </apply>
  </apply>
</math>

I know how to write such a library but would rather not reinvent the wheel if possible. Can’t be in Java as I must be able to link the library to non-managed code.

    I’ve never used it myself, but it looks as though libSBML might serve your purposes:

    http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=libsbml+convert+mathml+infix

    http://sbml.org/Software/libSBML/docs/cpp-api/libsbml-features.html

    On this page:

    http://sbml.org/Software/libSBML/docs/cpp-api/

    It says:

    “The libSBML formula parser has been carefully engineered so that transformations from MathML to infix string notation and back is possible with a minimum of disruption to the structure of the mathematical expression.”

    And has an example of what you’re trying to do…
