Hello.

First of all I recommend you install the latest release of libxml2,
since 2.6.11 is pretty old. Maybe the Reader API would suit your
needs: http://xmlsoft.org/xmlreader.html.

If you don't need to do any sophisticated manipulations of the data, I
would suggest you take a look at XSLT: http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt.
