A simple object-oriented Swift API around libxml2
To build, you need at least Swift 5.2 (Swift 5.5+ should work fine), download from https://swift.org/download/ -- if you are using macOS, make sure you have the command line tools installed as well). Test that your compiler works using swift --version, which should give you something like
$ swift --version
swift-driver version: 1.26.21
Apple Swift version 5.5.2 (swiftlang-1300.0.47.2 clang-1300.0.29.30)
Target: x86_64-apple-macosx12.0
on macOS, or on Linux you should get something like:
$ swift --version
Swift version 5.5.2 (swift-5.5.2-RELEASE)
Target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
On Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04, or 20.04, you can use the libxml2 that comes with the distribution. Just install with the apt package manager:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libxml2-dev
On macOS, you can install gtk using HomeBrew (for setup instructions, see http://brew.sh). Once you have a running HomeBrew installation, you can use it to install a native version of gtk:
brew update
brew install libxml2
