+ This library allows to manipulate XML files. It includes support
+ to read, modify and write XML and HTML files. There is DTDs support
+ this includes parsing and validation even with complex DtDs, either
+ at parse time or later once the document has been modified. The output
+ can be a simple SAX stream or and in-memory DOM like representations.
+ In this case one can use the built-in XPath and XPointer implementation
+ to select subnodes or ranges. A flexible Input/Output mechanism is
+ available, with existing HTTP and FTP modules and combined to an
