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 from the source interfaces. It can be consulted online or via odig doc xmlm.

Sample programs

If you installed xmlm with opam sample programs are located in the directory opam config var xmlm:doc.

In the distribution sample programs and tests are located in the test directory of the distribution. They can be built and run with:

topkg build --tests true && topkg test 

The xmltrip tool 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.
