libxml(3)
NAME
  libxml - library used to parse XML files

DESCRIPTION
  The libxml library is used to parse XML files. Its internal document
  repesentation is as close as possible to the DOM (Document Object Model)
  interface, an API for accessing XML or HTML structured documents.

  The libxml library also has a SAX-like interface, which is designed to be
  compatible with expat(1).  NOTE: 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 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.

  The libxml library now includes a nearly complete XPath implementation. The
  XPath (XML Path Language) is a language for addressing parts of an XML
  document, designed to be used by both XSLT and XPointer.

  The libxml library exports Push and Pull type parser interfaces for both
  XML and html.
