However, it seems like not all information is stored in the XML.

enums are stored as a numeric value which should be the same that is used in the binary formats.

OrCAD allows exporting its designs to XML files which are easy to read and verify the interpretation of bytes in the DSN/ OLB-files. Backups should be identical, just with a different file extension. The focus lies on schematics ( *.DSN/ *.DBK) and symbol libraries ( *.OLB/ *.OBK), the second file format is just the extension for its corresponding backup file. See also the complementary project OpenAllegroParser. This library can be linked to other software for reading/modifying?/writing? OrCAD binary files. Purpose of this project is to provide a C++17 library for parsing Cadence's OrCAD Capture binary file formats.
