I'm trying to install libxml2 on my Mac (OS 10.6.4). I'm actually trying to just run a Scrapy script in Python, which has required me to install Twisted, Zope, and now libxml2.

I'm parsing HTML with libxml2, using XPath to find elements. Once I found the element I'm looking for, how can I get the HTML as a string from that element (keeping in mind that this element will have many child elements). Given a document: <html> <header> <title>Some document</title> </header <body> <p id="...
I'm using libxml2 to parse HTML. I want to remove certain formatting tags like <center>, while keeping their content (for example, a link). This means I'll have to remove certain child nodes from my xmlNodeSet, but keep that node's children. Right now, I got this code: xmlNodePtr parentNode = nodes->nodeTab[i]; if (parentNode != NULL...
I'm using libxml2 to parse HTML. The HTML might look like this: <div> Some very very long text here. </div> I want to insert a child node, e.g. a header, in before the text, like this: <div> <h3> Some header here </h3> Some very very long text here. </div> Unfortunately, libxml2 always adds my header after t...
I've heard that including libxslt.dylib is grounds for getting your app rejected. I don't know how accurate that is. Nevertheless, I would like to include the latest version of libxslt. I'd like to do the same thing with libxml2, as well as other libraries in the future. What is the correct way to include a code library like this in my...
Hi, This question is somewhat related to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/530064/fastest-xml-parser-for-small-simple-documents-in-java but with a few more specifics. I'm working on an application which needs to parse many (10s of millions), small (approx. 300k) xml documents. The current implementation is using xerces-j and it takes...
I'm trying to create an XMPP library (and later a server) from scratch in a new C-like programming language (although the language itself is irrelevant) as a means to learn what I can about the XMPP protocol and server software development in general. As many of you know, XMPP is messaging protocol based on XML that depends on an enormo...
Hi, I am trying to scrape some content from an HTML page. I'm using libxml2 and htmlReadMemory to get a xmlDocPtr. The HTML is simple, but it has a problem. It's basically the following: <tr><td><tr><td>Some content</td></tr></td></tr> libxml doesn't like the nested tr, tds. It keeps giving me the following error: HTML parser error ...
I should be doing something wrong. What is the XPath query for all nodes named "name" under display-name?

I'm looking to replace MSXML with a library that will allow us to use DOM processing but using our own allocation, so we can assure it is mapped directly onto a memory-mapped file. This avoids having to synch the DOM back to the file. Can anyone please suggest which of the various libraries out there is most likely to be easily customise...
