Expat is an <A HREF="http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-xml-19980210">XML
1.0</A> parser written in C. It aims to be fully conforming. It is
currently not a validating XML processor.
Expat can be downloaded from <A href =
"ftp://ftp.jclark.com/pub/xml/expat.zip">ftp://ftp.jclark.com/pub/xml/expat.zip</A>.
This is a beta-test version.</P>
<P>
The directory <SAMP>xmltok</SAMP> contains a low-level library for
tokenizing XML. The interface is documented in <SAMP>xmltok/xmltok.h</SAMP>.</P>
<P>
The directory <SAMP>xmlparse</SAMP> contains an XML parser library
which is built on top of the <SAMP>xmltok</SAMP> library. The
interface is documented in <SAMP>xmlparse/xmlparse.h</SAMP>.</P>
<P>
The directory <SAMP>xmlwf</SAMP> contains the <SAMP>xmlwf</SAMP>
application, which uses the <SAMP>xmlparse</SAMP> library. The
arguments to <SAMP>xmlwf</SAMP> are one or more files which are each
to be checked for well-formedness. An option <SAMP>-d
<VAR>dir</VAR></SAMP> can be specified; for each well-formed input
file the corresponding <A
href="http://www.jclark.com/xml/canonxml.html">canonical XML</A> will
be written to <SAMP>dir/<VAR>f</VAR></SAMP>, where
<SAMP><VAR>f</VAR></SAMP> is the filename (without any path) of the
input file.
A <CODE>-x</CODE> option will cause references to external general entities
to be processed.
