+1. Purpose
+
+Interface to the libxml2 library; see <http://xmlsoft.org/>
+
+
+
+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, ...)
