Libxml2 is the XML C parser and toolkit developed for the Gnome project (but
usable outside of the Gnome platform), it is free software available under the
MIT License. XML itself is a metalanguage to design markup languages, i.e. text
language where semantic and structure are added to the content using extra
"markup" information enclosed between angle brackets. HTML is the most
well-known markup language. Though the library is written in C a variety of
language bindings make it available in other environments.

Libxml2 is known to be very portable, the library should build and work without
serious troubles on a variety of systems (Linux, Unix, Windows, CygWin, MacOS,
MacOS X, RISC Os, OS/2, VMS, QNX, MVS, VxWorks, ...)
