+<p>The XML Security Library is written in C but it uses some OOP techniques:
+ the objects in the library have "klasses" and there is "klasses" inheritance.
+ (see <a href="xmlsec-signature-klasses.html">signature</a> and
+ <a href="xmlsec-encryption-klasses.html">encryption</a> klasses
+ diagrams). The "klass" is different from C++ "class" (btw, this is
+ one of the reasons why it is spelled differently). The idea of "klasses"
+ used in XML Security Library are close to one in the GLIB/GTK/GNOME
+ and many other C projects. If you ever seen an OOP code written in C
+ you should find everything familiar.
+ </p>
+<p>XML Security Library "klass" includes three main parts:
+ </p>
+<p></p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>"Klass" declaration structure that defines "klass" interfaces
+ and global constant data (for example, the human-readable name of
+ the "klass").
+ </p>
+<div class="EXAMPLE">
+<a name="AEN562"></a><p><b>Example 6. Base transform "klass" and its child XPath transform "klass" structure.</b></p>
+<pre class="PROGRAMLISTING">struct _xmlSecTransformKlass {

+<p>"Klass" id which is simply a pointer to the "klass"

+ to the "klass" declaration and to pass "klass" strucutre to functions.
