From the web site:

The XML C parser and toolkit of Gnome

libxml

"Programming with libxml2 is like the thrilling embrace of an exotic
stranger." Mark Pilgrim

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.  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, ...)
