TyXML allows one to build XML trees whose validity is ensured by the typechecker. It’s based on a translation of XML types into polymorphic variants, originally written by Thorsten Ohl. Currently, the transcription has been done for XHTML 1.0 and 1.1, HTML5 and SVG (partial).

TyXML also provides a generic printer and some low-level (and untyped) iterators over XML trees. The printer has options for printing XHTML in more browser-friendly way when served as “text/html” (instead of “text/xml”). HTML5 is always printed with those options.

All modules provided by TyXML are also provided in functorial interface, where every module is parameterised by the underlying XML representation.

A camlp4 extension, named Pa_tyxml, allows one to write HTML pages or HTML fragments with the usual syntax.
