libxml2 is a software library for parsing XML documents. It is also the basis for the libxslt library which processes XSLT-1.0 stylesheets.

Description

Written in the C programming language, libxml2 provides bindings to C++, Ch,^[1] XSH, C#, Python, Kylix/Delphi and other Pascals, Ruby, Common Lisp,^[2] and PHP5.^{[clarification needed]} It can be accessed from the Perl programming language using the XML::LibXML module. It was originally developed for the GNOME project, but can be used outside it. The libXML code is highly portable,^{[citation needed]} since it depends on standard ANSI C libraries only,^{[citation needed]} and it is released under the MIT license. This library was written by Daniel Veillard and enjoys active feedback from its users.

It includes the command-line utility xmllint and an HTML parser.^[3]
