This site posts documentation from the Apple Developer Connection which describes the XML Services provided by the Core Foundation layer in Mac OS X.

The OS X architecture places a "Core Foundation" layer above the "Core OS" layer (which is a UNIX kernel based on Mach 3.0 from Carnegie-Mellon University and FreeBSD 3.2) and below both the Applications layer and the layer containing "Carbon" and "Cocoa" (the two environments for programming the Macintosh). OS X also uses XML as the format to express its Property Lists and application preferences.

Core Foundation XML Services provides a non-validating XML parser named CFXMLParser that comes with both "high level" and "low level" APIs.
