Installation

Xmlm can be installed with opam:

opam install xmlm

If you don't use opam consult the opam file for build instructions.

Documentation

The documentation and API reference is automatically generated by ocamldoc from the interfaces. It can be consulted online and there is a generated version in the doc directory of the distribution.

Sample programs

A test program, xmltrip, is provided in the test directory. It can be built with :

ocamlbuild test/xmltrip.native

xmltrip reads XML files with Xmlm and outputs them back in various ways. It is useful to understand how Xmlm handles documents. xmltrip -help has more information.

If you need to parse XHTML, the file xhtml.ml in the test directory has an OCaml list coupling each XHTML character entity with its corresponding UTF-8 encoded character string. You can use it to program a suitable entity callback.
