Libxml2 is the XML C parser and toolkit developed for the Gnome project (but usable outside of the Gnome platform), it is free software available under the [MIT License](http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.html). XML itself is a metalanguage to design markup languages, i.e. text language where semantic and structure are added to the content using extra "markup" information enclosed between angle brackets. HTML is the most well-known markup language. Though the library is written in C [a variety of language bindings](http://xmlsoft.org/python.html) make it available in other environments.
