| .SH NAME | |
| libxml \- library used to parse XML files | |
| .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| The | |
| .I libxml | |
| library is used to parse XML files. | |
| Its internal document representation is as close as possible to the | |
| .I DOM | |
| (Document Object Model) interface, | |
| an API for accessing XML or HTML structured documents. | |
| .LP | |
| The | |
| .I libxml | |
| library also has a | |
| .IR SAX -like | |
| interface, | |
| which is designed to be compatible with | |
| .IR expat (1). | |
| NOTE: | |
| .IR SAX , | |
| 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 | |
| library is a XML 1.0 parser written in C, | |
| which aims to be fully conforming. | |
| It is currently not a validating XML processor. | |
| .LP | |
| The | |
| .I libxml | |
| library now includes a nearly complete | |
| .I XPath | |
| implementation. | |
| The | |
| .I XPath | |
| (XML Path Language) is a language for addressing parts of an | |
| XML document, | |
| designed to be used by both | |
| .I XSLT | |
| and | |
| .IR XPointer . | |
| .LP | |
| The | |
| .I libxml | |
| library exports Push and Pull type parser interfaces for both XML and | |
| .IR html . | |
