Expat is an XML 1.0 parser written in C. It aims to be fully conforming. It is currently not a validating XML processor. Expat can be downloaded from ftp://ftp.jclark.com/pub/xml/expat.zip. This is a beta-test version.
The directory xmltok contains a low-level library for tokenizing XML. The interface is documented in xmltok/xmltok.h.
The directory xmlparse contains an XML parser library which is built on top of the xmltok library. The interface is documented in xmlparse/xmlparse.h.
The directory xmlwf contains the xmlwf
application, which uses the xmlparse library. The
arguments to xmlwf are one or more files which are each
to be checked for well-formedness. An option -d
dir can be specified; for each well-formed input
file the corresponding canonical XML will
be written to dir/f, where
f is the filename (without any path) of the
input file.
A -x option will cause references to external general entities
to be processed.
