Freeware XMLStarlet Command Line XML/XSLT Toolkit 0.9.5 has been released
http://xmlstar.sourceforge.net/
XMLStarlet is a set of command line utilities (tools) to transform, query,
validate, and edit XML documents and files using simple set of shell
commands in similar way it is done for plain text files using UNIX grep,
sed, awk, diff, patch, join, etc commands.
This set of command line utilities can be used by those who deal with many
XML documents on UNIX shell command prompt as well as for automated XML
processing with shell scripts.
The toolkit's feature set includes options to:
Check or validate XML files (simple well-formedness check, DTD, XSD,
RelaxNG)
Calculate values of XPath expressions on XML files (such as running sums,
etc)
Search XML files for matches to given XPath expressions
Apply XSLT stylesheets to XML documents (including EXSLT support, and
passing parameters to stylesheets)
Query XML documents (ex. query for value of some elements of attributes,
sorting, etc)
Modify or edit XML documents (ex. delete some elements)
Format or "beautify" XML documents (as changing indentation, etc)
Fetch XML documents using http:// or ftp:// URLs
Browse tree structure of XML documents (in similar way to 'ls' command for
directories)
Include one XML document into another using XInclude
XML c14n canonicalization
Escape/unescape special XML characters in input text
Display directories in XML format
Convert XML into PYX format (based on ESIS - ISO 8879) and vice versa
XMLStarlet command line utility is written in C and uses libxml2 and libxslt
from http://xmlsoft.org/. Implementation of extensive choice of options for
XMLStarlet utility was only possible because of rich feature set of libxml2
and libxslt (many thanks to the developers of those libraries for great
work).
XMLStarlet is linked statically to both libxml2 and libxslt, so generally
all you need to process XML documents is one executable file. To run
XmlStarlet utility you can simple type 'xml' on command line and see list of
options available.
XMLStarlet is open source freeware under MIT license which allows free use
and distribution for both commercial and non-commercial projects.
New binaries for Linux/Windows have been released. (i586 rpm are for
Mandrake-10.0)
We welcome any user's feedback on this project which would greatly help us
to improve its quality. Comments, suggestions, feature requests, bug reports
can be done via SourceForge project web site (see XMLStarlet Sourceforge
forums at http://sourceforge.net/forum/?group_id=66612, or XMLStarlet
mailing list at http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/xmlstar-devel)
------------------------------------------------
Changes since 0.9.3
1. Fixed security bugs (buffer overflows)
2. Recompiled against recent libxml2-2.6.13 and libxslt-1.1.10 libraries
3. New binaries for Windows/Linux
4. Updated documentation
