It was originally developed for the GNOME project, but can be used outside it. libxml2's code is highly portable [6] since it only depends on standard ANSI C libraries [7] and it is available under the MIT license. [8] It includes the command-line utility xmllint and an HTML parser. [9]
Expat is a stream-oriented XML 1.0 parser library, written in C, more precisely C99. [3] As one of the first available open-source XML parsers, Expat has found a place in many open-source projects. Such projects include the Apache HTTP Server, Mozilla, Perl, Python and PHP.
XML also provides a mechanism whereby an XML processor can reliably, without any prior knowledge, determine which encoding is being used. [17] Encodings other than UTF-8 and UTF-16 are not necessarily recognized by every XML parser (and in some cases not even UTF-16, even though the standard mandates it to also be recognized).

The library implements a number of standard APIs for XML parsing, including DOM, SAX and SAX2. The implementation is available in the Java , C++ and Perl programming languages. The name "Xerces" is believed to commemorate the extinct Xerces blue butterfly ( Glaucopsyche xerces ).
gSOAP [1] [2] is a C and C++ software development toolkit for SOAP/XML web services and generic XML data bindings.Given a set of C/C++ type declarations, the compiler-based gSOAP tools generate serialization routines in source code for efficient XML serialization of the specified C and C++ data structures.
When used in parsing mode, VTD-XML is a general purpose, high performance [17] XML parser which compares favorably with others: VTD-XML typically outperforms SAX (with NULL content handler) while still providing full random access and built-in XPath support. [citation needed]
SAX (Simple API for XML) is an event-driven online algorithm for lexing and parsing XML documents, with an API developed by the XML-DEV mailing list. [1] SAX provides a mechanism for reading data from an XML document that is an alternative to that provided by the Document Object Model (DOM).
