-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](http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.html). 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, ...)
 
 Libxml2 implements a number of existing standards related to markup languages:

-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](https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/xml-conformance/).
 
 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](http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/rfc/rfc959.txt) : libxml2 implements a basic FTP client code
-* [RFC 1945](http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/rfc/rfc1945.txt) : HTTP/1.0, again a basic HTTP client code

-A partial implementation of [XML Schemas Part 1: 
Structure](http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xmlschema-1-20010502/) is being worked on but it would be far too 
early to make any conformance statement about it at the moment.

early to make any conformance statement about it at the moment.
 
 Here are some key points about libxml:
 
 * Libxml2 exports Push (progressive) and Pull (blocking) type parser interfaces for both XML and HTML.
 * Libxml2 can do DTD validation at parse time, using a parsed document instance, or with an arbitrary DTD.
-* Libxml2 includes complete [XPath](http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath), [XPointer](http://www.w3.org/TR/xptr) and 
[XInclude](http://www.w3.org/TR/xinclude) implementations.
+* Libxml2 includes complete [XPath 1.0](https://www.w3.org/TR/xpath), [XPointer](http://www.w3.org/TR/xptr) 
and [XInclude 1.0](https://www.w3.org/TR/xinclude) implementations.
 * It is written in plain C, making as few assumptions as possible, and sticking closely to ANSI C/POSIX for 
easy embedding. Works on Linux/Unix/Windows, ported to a number of other platforms.
 * Basic support for HTTP and FTP client allowing applications to fetch remote resources.
 * The design is modular, most of the extensions can be compiled out.
-* The internal document representation is as close as possible to the [DOM](http://www.w3.org/DOM/) 
interfaces.

designed to be compatible with [Expat](http://www.jclark.com/xml/expat.html).
