tDOM combines high performance XML data processing with easy and powerful Tcl scripting functionality. tDOM should be one of the fastest ways to manipulate XML with a scripting language and uses very little memory in the process (for example the DOM tree of the XML recommendation in XML (160K) needs only about 450K in memory)! The tDOM project was started by Jochen Löwer. It is currently maintained by Rolf Ade. Note, tDOM ships with two extensions: tnc, an XML validation module and tdomhtml, a set of definitions for creating html documents using tDOM. The slackbuild script builds and installs both by default. If you do not wish to build one or both of these extensions then set the BUILD_TNC and BUILD_TDOMHTML variables to false as appropriate.
