libxml2现在不仅仅可以解析XML(EXtensible Markup Language)格式，包括HTML(HyperText Markup Language)以及现时常用的超文本格式的最高层次标准 SGML(Standard Generalized Markup Language) 都可以解析。

#include <cstdio>
#include <cstring>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <libxml/parser.h>

#define BUFFERSIZE 1024 * 1024 * 3
#define READALINE 1024 * 1024 * 1

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    if (argc != 2) {
        printf("Usgae: %s <Url or File>\n", argv[0]);
        exit(0);
    }
    char *file = argv[1];
    xmlParserCtxtPtr ctxt;
    xmlDocPtr doc;
    xmlNodePtr cur;
    // 创建一个Parser
    ctxt = xmlNewParserCtxt();
    // 读取链接流或文件流
    doc = xmlCtxtReadFile(ctxt, file, "GBK", XML_PARSE_DTDATTR|XML_PARSE_NOERROR);
    if (doc == NULL) {
        printf("Can't parse the content: %s\n", file);
        return 0;
    }
    // 获取根节点，此时的根节点可以通过cur->name获取
    cur = xmlDocGetRootElement(doc);
    if (cur == NULL) {
        printf("Can't get the root element: %s\n", file);
        xmlFreeDoc(doc);
        xmlFreeParserCtxt(ctxt);
        return 0;
    }
    // 获取子节点，此时的子节点也可以通过cur->name获取
    while (cur != NULL) {
        if (!xmlStrcmp(cur->name, (const xmlChar *)"news")){
            xmlChar *key;
            // 继续获取下个子节点的字节点
            xmlNodePtr l_cur = cur->xmlChildrenNode;
            while (l_cur != NULL) {
                if (!xmlStrcmp(l_cur->name, (const xmlChar *)"title")) {
                    key = xmlNodeListGetString(doc, l_cur->xmlChildrenNode, 1);
                    printf("title: %s\n", key);
                    xmlFree(key);
                } else if (!xmlStrcmp(l_cur->name, (const xmlChar *)"content")) {

                    printf("content: %s\n", key);
                    xmlFree(key);
                }
                l_cur = l_cur->next;
            }
        }
        // 继续获取下个子节点
        cur = cur->next;
    }

// 释放资源，很多网上的教程是没有释放资源或者释放得不彻底
    xmlFreeDoc(doc);
    xmlFreeParserCtxt(ctxt);
    xmlCleanupParser();
    return 0;
}
2，libxml2解析字符流（结合libcurl）
其实libxml2可以通过xmlCtxtReadMemory等函数进行解析，但是这个流必须是标准的xml格式，应用范围相对狭隘一些，这里结合libcurl来获取<a href=""></a>中的url信息：

#include <iostream>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <curl/curl.h>
#include <libxml/HTMLparser.h>

using namespace std;

#ifdef _MSC_VER
#define COMPARE(a, b) (!stricmp((a), (b)))
#else
#define COMPARE(a, b) (!strcasecmp((a), (b)))
#endif

关于libxml2就先介绍到这，其实这里面还有很多很多的小技巧，还需要各位去挖掘哟~！ :)
