• XML 1.0 (DOM & SAX2 APIs)
• XML Schema (XSD) 1.0
• XPath 1.0
• XSLT 1.0

In addition, it offers client and server-safe components for XML over HTTP. MSXML6 is also the first version of MSXML to provide a 64-bit redistributable package.MSXML6 has made significant improvements over previous versions of MSXML in the following areas:

Reliability - MSXML6 has addressed a significant number of stability issues particularly in resource-constrained scenarios.

Security – MSXML6 uses the principle of “off-by-default” to make loading XML data from anonymous or untrusted sources more secure. This may mean that upgrades from MSXML3 and MSXML4 will need to re-configure the MSXML6 components using SetProperty and/or SetFeature as appropriate.W3C Conformance and System.Xml 2.0

Compatibility – MSXML6 has gone through extensive testing and a number of issues have been addressed to improve W3C conformance and System.Xml 2.0 compatibility particularly in terms of the XML Schema 1.0 Recommendation.
