XMLStarlet Command Line XML Toolkit  0.7.0  =
http://xmlstar.sourceforge.net/

XMLStarlet is a set of command line utilities (tools) which can be used =
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:=20


a.. Check or validate XML files (simple well-formedness check, DTD, XSD, =
RelaxNG)=20

a.. Calculate values of XPath expressions on XML files (such as running =
sums, etc)=20

a.. Search XML files for matches to given XPath expressions=20

a.. Apply XSLT stylesheets to XML documents (including EXSLT support, =
and passing parameters to stylesheets)=20

a.. Query XML documents (ex. query for value of some elements of =
attributes, sorting, etc)=20

a.. Modify or edit XML documents (ex. delete some elements)=20

a.. Format or "beautify" XML documents (as changing indentation, etc)=20

a.. Fetch XML documents using http:// or ftp:// URLs=20

XMLStarlet command line utility is written in C and uses libxml2 and =
libxslt from http://xmlsoft.org/.=20
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).=20

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.=20

XMLStarlet is open source freeware under MIT license which allows free =
use and distribution for both commercial and non-commercial projects.=20
