Expat is a lightweight, open-source XML parsing library that is widely used in software development for reading and processing XML documents. It is written in C and is designed to be highly portable and efficient, making it a popular choice for a wide range of applications.
Expat provides a simple, event-driven API for parsing XML documents. The library reads input in a stream-oriented fashion, processing each element and attribute as it is encountered and notifying the application code with callbacks as each piece of data is parsed. This approach provides developers with a lot of flexibility and allows them to handle XML documents of arbitrary size.
One of the key benefits of Expat is its speed and efficiency. It is designed to be highly optimized and can parse large XML documents quickly and with minimal memory overhead. It also supports a wide range of character encodings, making it suitable for use with documents written in different languages and character sets.
