|
|---|
| 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 .
