|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.I libxml
|
|
|
|
|
library is used to parse XML files.
|
|
|
|
|
Its internal document repesentation 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.

|
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 .
