Libxml2 was originally developed alongside an [[XSL Transformations]] (XSLT) parser [[C]] library originally called '''xslt library''' but later renamed "Libxslt", it was in most cases ported alongside Libxml2 and released in conjunction with it. As XSLT turned out to be much less used than was intended this practice stopped and development and ports of it have slowed down considerably, but a reasonably modern OS/2 port exists. Like Libxml2 there is also a Python version available although in source form only as no-one has compiled an OS/2 version of it.

Same goes for Libxslt.

A multi-platform XML parser and related utilities written in C that can be utilised as a library or compiled as an external utility, in addition there are a number of bindings available for other languages and a separate version for Python known simply as Libxml2-Python that is available in versions for both Python 2 and 3 (There is also a binding available for Python if you prefer). The officially supported language bindings include C++, Pascal, Perl, PHP, Ruby and Tcl in addition to the aforementioned Python option.

Other systems

Although originally developed for the Gnome, both programs have been ported to a large number of systems including most UNIX and UNIX like systems, Microsoft Windows, System i and Mac OS X.
