Comparison edit
Compared to similar projects, libXML has a relatively complete and accessible documentation. It has even a useful tutorial, even if this still uses version 1 style.
This is total utter crap. Their documentation is poor and absolutely not accessible. That bold lie should be removed... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.100.59.229 (talk • contribs) 12:35, 28 August 2007
Interfaces edit
It should be mentioned that libxml2 provides a DOM interface _and_ a SAX interface. The example on the page is a DOM example. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.198.106.74 (talk) 10:08, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
Code samples? edit
What's the meaning with these code samples? Either one ought to fetch the code samples from Wikitutor or something, or from the main site of the lib itself. Here, the code samples are meaningless. It's much more informative if there was:
- in what language is it implemented?
- what language(s) does it API?
- does it use processes, pipes, shmem or is it a simple dynalib?
- Na, but is intended to be thread safe, while in reality it cannot be guaranteed, since the only originally thread-unsafe part, XPath, has been rewritten to be thread safe, but not rigorously tested...
- how full does it cover this or that standard? (i.e. XML)
- does it have known quirks?
Sources for competitors added to "See also" section? edit
I notice that there are several competitors added to the "See also" section, including one just added this week. Should there be sources associated with adding those entries to "See also"? For example, Expat (library) was recently added, but in looking at that Wikipedia article, I don't know enough to know for certain that Expat is a "competitor" to libxml2. I worry that we could wind up with a very long list here of everyone's favorite XML tools. Should there be criteria for adding "competitor" entries to "See also"? - Dyork (talk) 01:38, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
