11: <a href="http://www.gnome.org/">Gnome</a> project. <a href="http://www.w3.org/XML/">XML is a standard</a> for building tag-based
12: structured documents/data.</p><p>Here are some key points about libxml:</p><ul><li>Libxml2 exports Push (progressive) and Pull (blocking) type parser
13: interfaces for both XML and HTML.</li>
14: <li>Libxml2 can do DTD validation at parse time, using a parsed document
15: instance, or with an arbitrary DTD.</li>
16: <li>Libxml2 includes complete <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath">XPath</a>, <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xptr">XPointer</a> and <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xinclude">XInclude</a> implementations.</li>
17: <li>It is written in plain C, making as few assumptions as possible, and
18: sticking closely to ANSI C/POSIX for easy embedding. Works on
19: Linux/Unix/Windows, ported to a number of other platforms.</li>
20: <li>Basic support for HTTP and FTP client allowing applications to fetch
21: remote resources.</li>
22: <li>The design is modular, most of the extensions can be compiled out.</li>
23: <li>The internal document representation is as close as possible to the <a href="http://www.w3.org/DOM/">DOM</a> interfaces.</li>
24: <li>Libxml2 also has a <a href="http://www.megginson.com/SAX/index.html">SAX like interface</a>;
25: the interface is designed to be compatible with <a href="http://www.jclark.com/xml/expat.html">Expat</a>.</li>
26: <li>This library is released under the <a href="http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.html">MIT
27: License</a>. See the Copyright file in the distribution for the precise
28: wording.</li>
