Below is a simple example to get you started using libxml2 SAX2 parser.
Notes that the example below is just a getting started example. You'll probably want to use other handlers such as entities. Check xmlSAXHandler for a list of available handlers.
You can download the source from there.
Here is the output of the program below:
