Written in the C programming language, libxml2 provides bindings to C++, Ch,^[2] XSH, C#, Python, Swift, Kylix/Delphi and other Pascals, Ruby, Perl, Common Lisp,^[3] and PHP.^[4] It was originally developed for the GNOME project, but can be used outside it. libxml2's code is highly portable^[5] since it only depends on standard ANSI C libraries^[6] and it is available under the MIT license.^[7]

It includes the command-line utility xmllint and an HTML parser.^[8]
