| User Type | Best Method |
|-----------|--------------|
| Developer using WSL | Method 1 (WSL) |
| Need many Unix tools | Method 2 (Cygwin) |
| Lightweight & modern | Method 3 (MSYS2) |
| One-off usage | Method 4 (Standalone) |
| Chocolatey user | Method 5 (Chocolatey) |
For most Windows users who want a quick, reliable setup without extra environments, Method 4 (Standalone Binary) is the most straightforward. However, if you already use WSL, stick with Method 1 for seamless integration.
Close and reopen your terminal, then run:
xmllint --version
xmllint --version
Expected output (example):
xmllint: using libxml version 20914
compiled with: ...
Once Chocolatey is ready, install xmllint:
choco install libxml2
This installs the entire libxml2 package, including xmllint.exe. Chocolatey automatically adds the binary to your PATH.
