Xidel is a command line tool to download web pages and extract data from them.

This data can be extracted using XPath/XQuery 3.0 (with a compatibility modes for XPath 2.0 and XQuery 1.0), JSONiq, CSS 3 selectors, and custom, pattern-matching templates that are like an annotated version of the processed page.

It can download files over HTTP/S connections, follow redirections, links, or extracted values, and also process local files.

The extracted values can then be exported as plain text/XML/JSON, or assigned to variables to use in other extract expressions.

It also provides an online CGI service for testing of XPath / XQuery 3.0 expression.
