| 2 .SH NAME |
| 3 libxml \- library used to parse XML files |
| 4 .SH DESCRIPTION |
| 5 The |
| 6 .I libxml |
| 7 library is used to parse XML files. |
| 8 Its internal document representation is as close as possible to the |
| 9 .I DOM |
| 10 (Document Object Model) interface, |
| 11 an API for accessing XML or HTML structured documents. |
| 12 .LP |
| 13 The |
| 14 .I libxml |
| 15 library also has a |
| 16 .IR SAX -like |
| 17 interface, |
| 18 which is designed to be compatible with |
| 19 .IR expat (1). |
| 20 NOTE: |
| 21 .IR SAX , |
| 22 the Simple API for XML, |
| 23 is a standard interface for event-based XML parsing, |
| 24 developed collaboratively by the members of the XML-DEV mailing list, |
| 25 currently hosted by OASIS. |
| 26 The |
| 27 .I expat |
| 28 library is a XML 1.0 parser written in C, |
| 29 which aims to be fully conforming. |
| 30 It is currently not a validating XML processor. |
| 31 .LP |
| 32 The |
| 33 .I libxml |
| 34 library now includes a nearly complete |
| 35 .I XPath |
| 36 implementation. |
| 37 The |
| 38 .I XPath |
| 39 (XML Path Language) is a language for addressing parts of an |
| 40 XML document, |
| 41 designed to be used by both |
| 42 .I XSLT |
| 43 and |
| 44 .IR XPointer . |
| 45 .LP |
| 46 The |
| 47 .I libxml |
| 48 library exports Push and Pull type parser interfaces for both XML and |
| 49 .IR html . |
