74<p>Libxml is made of multiple components; some of them are optional, and most
75of the block interfaces are public. The main components are:</p>
76<ul>
77<li>an Input/Output layer</li>
78<li>FTP and HTTP client layers (optional)</li>
79<li>an Internationalization layer managing the encodings support</li>
80<li>a URI module</li>
81<li>the XML parser and its basic SAX interface</li>
82<li>an HTML parser using the same SAX interface (optional)</li>
83<li>a SAX tree module to build an in-memory DOM representation</li>
84<li>a tree module to manipulate the DOM representation</li>
85<li>a validation module using the DOM representation (optional)</li>
86<li>an XPath module for global lookup in a DOM representation
87 (optional)</li>
88<li>a debug module (optional)</li>
89</ul>
