Delphi Developer's Guide to XML Links and Third-Party Software
Microsoft provides a COM-based XML parser and DOM, as well as an XSLT engine
and a SAX2-compliant reader. They also have utilities for working with XML.
Due to licensing issues you need to download the various software
offerings (all currently free) directly from their Web site.
Also available are the Pascal interface units for the MSXML v4
package for Delphi versions 4 through 7.
