   That question is quite ambiguous. libxml2 implements a number of
specifications (see the list at http://xmlsoft.org/) but it doesn't implement
all of them by far.
   Also you say examples of "code" . XML is a *data* format, so that question
makes very little sense. libxml will handle any conformant XML, well it
should (assuming you don't run into system issues like lack of memory or
something).
   I also don't understand the title of your mail, why " and W3C" ???

  Written in C, portable, nearly pedantic in its attempts to be conformant
and relatively fast.

   The GNOME and KDE Unix desktops, read the archives of this list
and the changelogs to see who use and contribute to this library.
