xpe

Finally, a commandline xpath tool for linux that is easy to use.

What is this?

xpe is a commandline xpath parser. Pipe in some textual data, supply it with an xpath expression, and it will dump the result to stdout. Perfect for shellscripting. For example:

curl example.com | xpe "//h1/text()"

Example Domain

Alternatively, xpe can query a file for xpath expressions like so:

xpe '//a/@href' somefile.htm

The order doesn't matter, so the following is also valid:

xpe somefile.htm '//a/@href'

sudo pip3 install xpe
