libxml2 Description
libxml2 is a library for manipulating XML and HTML resources. Libxml2 is the XML C parser and toolkit developed for the Gnome project (but usable outside of the Gnome platform), libxml2 library is free software available under the MIT License. XML itself is a metalanguage to design markup languages, i.e. text language where semantic and structure are added to the content using extra "markup" information enclosed between angle brackets. HTML is the most well-known markup language. Though the library is written in C a variety of language bindings make it available in other environments.Libxml2 is known to be very portable, the library should build and work without serious troubles on a variety of systems (Linux, Unix, Windows, CygWin, MacOS, MacOS X, RISC Os, OS/2, VMS, QNX, MVS, ...) Here are some key features of "libxml2": · 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.
