Expat.Net

Unofficial .NET wrapper for expat library, a fast stream-oriented XML parser library written in C.

XmlParser API Model

XmlParser exposes a SAX-like callback model:

  • OnProlog
  • OnProcessingInstruction
  • OnStartTag
  • OnEndTag
  • OnText
  • OnCdata
  • OnComment

Native Library Resolution Priority

  1. Look for EXPAT_LIBRARY_PATH environment var (absolute path to expat library with file name and its extension, eg: C:\vcpkg\installed\x64-windows\bin\libexpat.dll).

  2. Find common expat name and extensions for each platform.

  3. Fallbak to default .NET library loader.

Notes

  • There is an explicit intention to keep this project aligned with the latest official libexpat releases.

  • This library implement native library resolver to attempt load almost all possible combinations of expat library names (libexpat, expat) and file extensions (.dll, .so, .so.1, .dylib).
