System.Private.Xml.Linq

This assembly implements APIs for processing XML entities with LINQ operations, along with APIs to navigate and validate these entities. See the System.Private.Xml README file for an overview of the XML-processing libraries the framework provides.

It provides core implementations of XDocument, XContainer, and related types.
