xq

A simple XML parser that exposes the https://github.com/antchfx/xmlquery to the command line. Use XPath queries to search for information in XML documents, or execute basic XPath expressions to convert data.

Find

To search for elements, use the --find command:

cat sample.xml | ./xq --find '//MyElement[@someattr="abc"]'

Exec

To execute an XPath expression, use the --exec command:

cat sample.xml | ./xq --exec 'count(//MyElement)'
cat sample.xml | ./xq --exec 'sum(//MyElement@bytes

Dependencies

This app is really just a simple CLI wrapper around these two great Go XML packages:

• https://github.com/antchfx/xpath
• https://github.com/antchfx/xmlquery
