  1. What is lxml?
  2. =============
  3. lxml is the most feature-rich and easy-to-use library for processing XML and HTML in the Python language.
  4. It's also very fast and memory friendly, just so you know.
  5. For an introduction and further documentation, see `doc/main.txt`_.
  6. For installation information, see `INSTALL.txt`_.
  7. For issue tracker, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/lxml

  10. lxml has been downloaded from the `Python Package Index`_
  11. millions of times and is also available directly in many package
  12. distributions, e.g. for Linux or macOS.
  13. .. _`Python Package Index`: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/lxml
