The libxml library allows to manipulate XML files. It includes support to
read, modify and write XML and HTML files. There is DTDs support this includes
parsing and validation even with complex DtDs, either at parse time or later
once the document has been modified. The output can be a simple SAX stream or
and in-memory DOM like representations. In this case one can use the built-in
XPath and XPointer implementation to select subnodes or ranges. A flexible
Input/Output mechanism is available, with existing HTTP and FTP modules and
combined to an URI library.
This package is needed to build programs written with libxml for use with
FreeBASIC.
