This is James Clark's Expat XML parser library in C. It is a stream oriented parser that requires setting handlers to deal with the structure that the parser
discovers in the document.

Please ignore the "review" from debguy - he is very confused. There is NO claim from Microsoft in these files: what debguy has found is that the author's have included project files so that, if you want, you can use Visual Studio to build the source code. His reference to "Tailand" (sic) seems to come from the Copyright notice that refers to "Thai Open Source Software Center Ltd" which is just the name of James Clark's company (Clark was born in the UK and lives in Thailand - which makes him an expat, of couse). Expat is a superb piece of work.

Expat is the parser of choice used by many higher level (e.g. DOM parsing) projects to do the actual physical parsing. It is highly efficient, very robust, well tested, and standards compliant. There are other excellent choice besides this one, but you won't go wrong with expat.
