Libxml main interfaces
- The parser: does Well-Formeness and DTD validation, handle namespaces,
can operate in pull or push modes
- SAX: callback based interface (opening, closing, characters ...)
- DOM tree: build a full in-memory tree followingly DOM interfaces
- HTML: an HTML parser, generating either SAX callbacks or a DOM tree
- Tree: routines to create/modify/save a DOM tree. Being able to save back
parsed documents influenced a lot of the design of libxml
- URI module
- I/0 interface: modular with basic FTP and HTTP built-in
- I18N handlers: defaults UTF8 UTF16 and ISO-Latin, uses iconv if
found
- XPath expression language to query XML documents
- Debug module (including a small shell) and memory usage checking
