XML programming in Linux

Posted by Joys of Programming on in C/C++

For a detailed tutorial on XML programming, check the libxml tutorial.

To start XML programming in Ubuntu, you must have the following packages in your system

To install these packages,


$ sudo apt-get install libxml2 libxml2-dev libxml2-doc libxml2-utils

Once you install these packages, you must check the path where the libxml2 header files are present


$ xml2-config --cflags
-I/usr/include/libxml2

You must make use of the above path while writing your codes. Also to compile your code, you must know the library corresponding to libxml.


$ xml2-config --libs
-lxml2

Now you know both these values, you can compile your program containing libXML headers and functions in the following manner


$ gcc file.c `xml2-config --cflags --libs`
