There is no such API in libxml2, AFAIK.

You realize that binary data must not occur in XML unless it
has been
encoded to a text representation first? I don't think it
would be cute
if libxml2 had this API, since it's not generally useful
enough. You
may think different.

libxml2 is for working with XML, not for doing binary to
text
encoding. That is up to you, or another library.
