libxml - library used to parse XML files
DESCRIPTION
The libxml library is used to parse XML files. Its inter
nal document repesentation is as close as possible to the
DOM (Document Object Model) interface, an API for access
ing XML or HTML structured documents.
The libxml library also has a SAX-like interface, which is
designed to be compatible with expat(1). NOTE: SAX, the
Simple API for XML, is a standard interface for event-
based XML parsing, developed collaboratively by the mem
bers of the XML-DEV mailing list, currently hosted by
OASIS. The expat library is a XML 1.0 parser written in
C, which aims to be fully conforming. It is currently not
a validating XML processor.
The libxml library now includes a nearly complete XPath
implementation. The XPath (XML Path Language) is a lan
guage for addressing parts of an XML document, designed to
be used by both XSLT and XPointer.
The libxml library exports Push and Pull type parser
interfaces for both XML and html.
