libxml - library used to parse XML files
<A NAME="lbAC">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
The
<I>libxml</I>
library is used to parse XML files.
Its internal document representation is as close as possible to the
<I>DOM </I>
(Document Object Model) interface,
an API for accessing XML or HTML structured documents.
<P>
The
<I>libxml</I>
library also has a
<I>SAX</I>-like
interface,
which is designed to be compatible with
<I><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+expat">expat</A></I>(1).
NOTE:
<I>SAX</I>,
the Simple API for XML,
is a standard interface for event-based XML parsing,
developed collaboratively by the members of the XML-DEV mailing list,
currently hosted by OASIS.
The
<I>expat</I>
library is a XML 1.0 parser written in C,
which aims to be fully conforming.
It is currently not a validating XML processor.
<P>
The
<I>libxml </I>
library now includes a nearly complete
<I>XPath </I>
implementation.
The
<I>XPath</I>
(XML Path Language) is a language for addressing parts of an
XML document,
designed to be used by both
<I>XSLT </I>
and
<I>XPointer</I>.
<P>
The
<I>libxml </I>
library exports Push and Pull type parser interfaces for both XML and
<I>html</I>.
