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 implements a number of existing standards related to markup languages: - the XML standard: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml - Namespaces in XML: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names/ - XML Base: http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlbase/ - RFC 2396 : Uniform Resource Identifiers - XML Path Language (XPath) 1.0: http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath - HTML4 parser: http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/ - XML Pointer Language (XPointer) Version 1.0: http://www.w3.org/TR/xptr - XML Inclusions (XInclude) Version 1.0: http://www.w3.org/TR/xinclude/ - ISO-8859-x encodings, as well as rfc2044 [UTF-8] and rfc2781 [UTF-16] Unicode encodings, and more if using iconv support part of SGML Open Technical Resolution TR9401:1997 - XML Catalogs Working Draft 06 August 2001: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/entity/spec-2001-08-06.html - Canonical XML Version 1.0: http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-c14n and the Exclusive XML Canonicalization CR draft http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-exc-c14n - Relax NG, ISO/IEC 19757-2:2003, http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/relax-ng/spec-20011203.html - W3C XML Schemas Part 2: Datatypes REC 02 May 2001 - W3C xml:id Working Draft 7 April 2004 In most cases libxml2 tries to implement the specifications in a relatively strictly compliant way. As of release 2.4.16, libxml2 passed all 1800+ tests from the OASIS XML Tests Suite. To some extent libxml2 provides support for the following additional specifications but doesn't claim to implement them completely: - Document Object Model (DOM) http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Core/ the document model, but it doesn't implement the API itself, gdome2 does this on top of libxml2 - RFC 959 : libxml2 implements a basic FTP client code - RFC 1945 : HTTP/1.0, again a basic HTTP client code - SAX: a SAX2 like interface and a minimal SAX1 implementation compatible with early expat versions A partial implementation of XML Schemas Part 1: Structure is being worked on but it would be far too early to make any conformance statement about it at the moment.
