    This library allows to manipulate XML files. It includes support to read, modify and write XML and HTML
    files. There is DTDs support this includes parsing and validation even with complex DtDs, either at parse
    time or later once the document has been modified. The output can be a simple SAX stream or and in-memory
    DOM like representations. In this case one can use the built-in XPath and XPointer implementation to
    select subnodes or ranges. A flexible Input/Output mechanism is available, with existing HTTP and FTP
    modules and combined to an URI library.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
     CVE-2013-2877
     parser.c in libxml2 before 2.9.0, as used in Google Chrome before 28.0.1500.71 and other products, allows
    remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a document that ends abruptly,
    related to the lack of certain checks for the XML_PARSER_EOF state.
     CVE-2014-0191
     No information available at the time of writing, please refer to the CVE link below.
