13libxo - A Library for Generating Text, XML, JSON, and HTML Output
14===================================================================
15
16The libxo library allows an application to generate text, XML, JSON,
17and HTML output, suitable for both command line use and for web
18applications.  The application decides at run time which output style
19should be produced.  By using libxo, a single source code path can
20emit multiple styles of output using command line options to select
21the style, along with optional behaviors.  libxo includes support for
22multiple output streams, pluralization, color, syslog,
23:manpage:`humanized(3)` output, internationalization, and UTF-8.  The
24library aims to minimize the cost of migrating code to libxo.
25
26libxo ships as part of FreeBSD.
