• Reading XML data from a file, and writing XML data to a file.

• Reading XML data from a string in memory, and serializing data to a string.

• Modifying XML data in memory, including adding, removing, moving, and changing elements/attributes.

• Combining multiple XML documents into a single document, and splitting a document into multiple documents.
