Xml Light is a minimal Xml parser & printer for OCaml. It provide few functions to parse a basic Xml document into an OCaml data structure and to print back the data structures to an Xml document.

Xml Light has also support for DTD (Document Type Definition).

  dune build
  dune install

simple samples :

  let x = Xml.parse_string "<a href='url'>TEXT<begin/><end/></a>" in
  Printf.printf "XML formated = \n%s" (Xml.to_string_fmt x);

  let x = Xml.parse_file "myfile.xml" in
  let dtd = Dtd.parse_file "myfile.dtd" in
  let x = Dtd.prove (Dtd.check dtd) "start" x in
  print_endline (Xml.to_string x)

HTML documentation can be generated with ocamldoc :

  dune build @doc

You can also directly browse the MLI files to read it.
