MSXML
Microsoft XML Core Services (MSXML) is a collection of services that allow JScript applications, VBScript applications, and Microsoft development tools to create XML applications on Windows. DOM, SAX, XSLT, XSD, and more are supported.MSXML ships as a COM component bundled with Windows and is accessed through ProgIDs such as MSXML2.DOMDocument.6.0, the current, recommended version; earlier versions such as MSXML 3.0 and 4.0 are legacy and no longer recommended for new development. Because it is COM-based, MSXML can be used from VBScript, JScript, VBA, classic ASP, and C++ (via COM), in addition to Microsoft's own development tools. It provides a DOM implementation, SAX2-compatible interfaces (IVBSAXXMLReader / ISAXXMLReader), an XSLT processor, and DTD/XSD-based validation.
