I'm using libxml2 aand haven't got any complaints. I think it was
originally written as part of the GNOME desktop environment, but
the author has been careful not to make it depend on any of the
GNOME libraries. I use it at work to parse configuration files and
oddball data messages wrapped in XML.

There's also an accompanying libxslt library, which I  haven't
used, but a colleague regards it quite highly. Libxml compiles
on NetBSD, and may even be in the packages collection. If not,
it is available from:

   ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/stable/sources/libxml/
   ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/stable/sources/libxslt/

Oh yes, and it's C, so no Java to worry about. If scripting
languages are more your bag, then I think there's a Perl module
as well.
