Introduction

This document describes libxml, the XML C parser and toolkit developed for the +Gnome project. XML is a standard for building tag-based +structured documents/data.

Here are some key points about libxml:

Libxml2 exports Push (progressive) and Pull (blocking) type parser + interfaces for both XML and HTML.
Libxml2 can do DTD validation at parse time, using a parsed document + instance, or with an arbitrary DTD.
Libxml2 includes complete XPath, XPointer and XInclude implementations.
It is written in plain C, making as few assumptions as possible, and + sticking closely to ANSI C/POSIX for easy embedding. Works on + Linux/Unix/Windows, ported to a number of other platforms.
Basic support for HTTP and FTP client allowing applications to fetch + remote resources.
The design is modular, most of the extensions can be compiled out.
The internal document representation is as close as possible to the DOM interfaces.
Libxml2 also has a SAX like interface; + the interface is designed to be compatible with Expat.
This library is released under the MIT + License. See the Copyright file in the distribution for the precise + wording.

Warning: unless you are forced to because your application links with a +Gnome-1.X library requiring it, Do Not Use libxml1, use +libxml2
