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,[3] XSH, C#, Python, Swift, Kylix/Delphi and other Pascals, Ruby, Perl, Common Lisp,[4] and PHP.[5] It was originally developed for the GNOME project, but can be used outside it. libxml2's code is highly portable[6] since it only depends on standard ANSI C libraries[7] and it is available under the MIT license.[8]

It includes the command-line utility xmllint and an HTML parser.[9]
