<p>Libxml is the XML C library developped for the Gnome project. XML itself
|
|
is a metalanguage to design markup languages, i.e. text language where
|
|
semantic and structure are added to the content using extra "markup"
|
|
information enclosed between angle bracket. HTML is the most well-known
|
|
markup language.</p>
|
|
<p>Libxml2 implements a number of existing standards related to markup
|
|
languages:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>the XML standard: <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml">http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml</a>

|
|
<p>In most cases libxml tries to implement the specifications in a relatively
|
|
strict way. As of release 2.4.16, libxml2 passes all 1800+ tests from the <a href="http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/xml-conformance/">OASIS XML Tests
|
|
Suite</a>.</p>
|
|
<p>To some extent libxml2 provide some support for the following other
|
|
specification but don't claim to implement them:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Document Object Model (DOM) <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Core/">http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Core/</a>
|
|
it doesn't implement the API itself, gdome2 does this in top of
|
|
libxml2</li>

serious troubles on a variety of systems (Linux, Unix, Windows, CygWin,
