HepML tags contain an information enough to understand what kind of physics the simulated events describe and how the events have been prepared. A HepML block is an additional part to the LHEF format of event files. The structure of the HepML block is described by means of several XML Schemas. The Schemas define necessary information for the HepML block and how this information should be located within the block. The library libhepml is a C++ library intended for parsing and serialization of HepML tags, and representing the HepML block in computer memory. The library is an API for an external software. For example, Matrix Element Monte Carlo event generators can prepare and write a header of a LHEF file. In turn, Showering and Hadronization event generators can parse the HepML header and get the information in the form of C++ classes. libhepml can be used in C++, C, and Fortran programs. All necessary parts of HepML have been prepared and we present the project to the HEP community.
