Rust library Xmloxide offers memory-safe libxml2 replacement

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new Rust library called xmloxide has been developed as a memory-safe and high-performance alternative to the widely used libxml2 XML/HTML parsing library. Libxml2, which is no longer maintained, has known security vulnerabilities. Xmloxide aims to address these issues by offering robust parsing capabilities for both XML and HTML, including support for various APIs, CSS selectors, XPath, and validation. AI

IMPACT Provides a safer and more performant alternative for XML/HTML parsing, potentially impacting downstream applications that rely on these formats.
