# libxml2 libxml2 is an XML toolkit implemented in C, originally developed for the GNOME Project. Official releases can be downloaded from <https://download.gnome.org/sources/libxml2/> The git repository is hosted on GNOME's GitLab server: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2> Bugs should be reported at <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/issues> Documentation is available at <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/wikis> ## License This code is released under the MIT License, see the Copyright file. ## Build instructions libxml2 can be built with GNU Autotools, CMake, meson or several other build systems in platform-specific subdirectories. ### Autotools (for POSIX systems like Linux, BSD, macOS) If you build from a Git tree, you have to install Autotools and start by generating the configuration files with: ./autogen.sh [configuration options] If you build from a source tarball, extract the archive with: tar xf libxml2-xxx.tar.gz cd libxml2-xxx Then you can configure and build the library: ./configure [configuration options] make The following options disable or enable code modules and relevant symbols: --with-c14n Canonical XML 1.0 support (on) --with-catalog XML Catalogs support (on) --with-debug debugging module and shell (on) --with-history history support for shell (off) --with-readline[=DIR] use readline in DIR (for shell history) --with-html HTML parser (on) --with-http HTTP support (off) --with-iconv[=DIR] iconv support (on) --with-icu ICU support (off) --with-iso8859x ISO-8859-X support if no iconv (on) --with-lzma[=DIR] use liblzma in DIR (off) --with-modules dynamic modules support (on) --with-output serialization support (on) --with-pattern xmlPattern selection interface (on) --with-push push parser interfaces (on) --with-python Python bindings (on) --with-reader xmlReader parsing interface (on) --with-regexps regular expressions support (on) --with-sax1 older SAX1 interface (on) --with-schemas XML Schemas 1.0 and RELAX NG support (on) --with-schematron Schematron support (on) --with-threads multithreading support (on) --with-thread-alloc per-thread malloc hooks (off) --with-tree DOM like tree manipulation APIs (on) --with-valid DTD validation support (on) --with-writer xmlWriter serialization interface (on) --with-xinclude XInclude 1.0 support (on) --with-xpath XPath 1.0 support (on) --with-xptr XPointer support (on) --with-zlib[=DIR] use libz in DIR (off) Other options: --with-minimum build a minimally sized library (off) --with-legacy maximum ABI compatibility (off) Note that by default, no optimization options are used. You have to enable them manually, for example with: CFLAGS='-O2 -fno-semantic-interposition' ./configure Now you can run the test suite with: make check Please report test failures to the bug tracker. Then you can install the library: make install At that point you may have to rerun ldconfig or a similar utility to update your list of installed shared libs. ### CMake (mainly for Windows) Another option for compiling libxml is using CMake: cmake -E tar xf libxml2-xxx.tar.gz cmake -S libxml2-xxx -B libxml2-xxx-build [possible options] cmake --build libxml2-xxx-build cmake --install libxml2-xxx-build Common CMake options include: -D BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF # build static libraries -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release # specify build type -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local # specify the install path -D LIBXML2_WITH_ICONV=OFF # disable iconv -D LIBXML2_WITH_LZMA=OFF # disable liblzma -D LIBXML2_WITH_PYTHON=OFF # disable Python -D LIBXML2_WITH_ZLIB=OFF # disable libz You can also open the libxml source directory with its CMakeLists.txt directly in various IDEs such as CLion, QtCreator, or Visual Studio. ### Meson Libxml can also be built with meson. Without option, simply call meson setup builddir ninja -C builddir To add options, see the meson_options.txt file. For example: meson setup -Dprefix=$prefix -Dftp=true -Dhistory=true -Dicu=true -Dhttp=true builddir To install libxml: ninja -C builddir install To launch tests: meson test -C builddir ## Dependencies Libxml does not require any other libraries. A platform with somewhat recent POSIX support should be sufficient (please report any violation to this rule you may find). The iconv function is required for conversion of character encodings. This function is part of POSIX.1-2001. If your platform doesn't provide iconv, you need an external libiconv library, for example [GNU libiconv](https://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/). Alternatively, you can use [ICU](https://icu.unicode.org/). If enabled, libxml uses [libz](https://zlib.net/) or [liblzma](https://tukaani.org/xz/) to support reading compressed files. Use of this feature is discouraged. ## Contributing The current version of the code can be found in GNOME's GitLab at at <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2>. The best way to get involved is by creating issues and merge requests on GitLab. All code must conform to C89 and pass the GitLab CI tests. Add regression tests if possible. ## Authors - Daniel Veillard - Bjorn Reese - William Brack - Igor Zlatkovic for the Windows port - Aleksey Sanin - Nick Wellnhofer
