The creator of the Redland Resource Description Framework (RDF) application framework has written an "RDF Parser for Redland", an RDF/XML Parser written in C designed to integrate closely with Redland.

According to the developer, Rapier, RDF Parser is very fast, and has no memory leaks. An extensive feature set includes: the extraction of RDF content embedded in XML (such as XHTML), use of expat and/or libxml XML parsers as available or required, Perl and Python interfaces when used via Redland, hooks for new parseType-s and container types and handling of rdf:resource/resource attributes.
