tDOM is a fast XML/DOM/XPath/XSLT/HTML/JSON extension for Tcl written in C. tDOM takes advantage of Expat, the XML parser from James Clark, including namespace and DTD support. It includes a modified version of Tclexpat, the Tcl interface to Expat, with event-based XML push (SAX-like) and pull (StAX-like) parsing, and comes with a (partial) DOM-I and DOM-II implementation in C for maximum performance and minimum memory need. A very complete, compliant, and fast XPath implementation is provided.
