|
<p>Libxml2 is the XML C parser and toolkit developed for the Gnome project
|
|
(but usable outside of the Gnome platform), it is free software available
|
|
under the
|
|
<a href="http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.html">MIT
|
|
License
|
|
</a>
|
|
. 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 href="python.html">a variety of language bindings
|
|
</a>
|
|
make it available in
|
|
other environments.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>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, ...)
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Libxml2 implements a number of existing standards related to markup
|
|

<p>In most cases libxml2 tries to implement the specifications in a

|
relatively strictly compliant way. As of release 2.4.16, libxml2 passes all

1800+ tests from the
|
|

Suite

</p>

|
<p>To some extent libxml2 provides support for the following additional

specifications but doesn't claim to implement them completely:

it doesn't implement the API itself, gdome2 does this on top of
|
|
libxml2
