<p>Libxml is the XML parser and toolkit developed for the Gnome project.<br>
This is the BlitzMax implementation of the libxml library.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Here are some key points about libxml:
<ul>
<li>Libxml exports Push (progressive) and Pull (blocking) type parser interfaces for both XML and HTML.</li>
<li>Libxml can do DTD validation at parse time, using a parsed document instance, or with an arbitrary DTD.</li>
<li>Libxml includes complete XPath, XPointer and XInclude implementations.</li>
<li>Basic support for HTTP and FTP client allowing applications to fetch remote resources.</li>
</ul>
