Finally, a commandline xpath tool 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 -s 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

sudo pip3 install -U xpe
