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.
