 <p>Expat is an XML parser library written in C. It is a
 stream-oriented parser in which an application registers handlers for
 things the parser might find in the XML document (like start tags).

 <p>This project aims to maintain Expat for both current and future
 users while improving the API to allow more reliable and robust access
 from "scripting" languages such as Python and Perl.  We invite the
 community to participate on the mailing lists to help shape the future
 of Expat.</p>
