cxfinder – a console xpath evaluator

cxfinder was waiting in the cubby-hole since almost one year. today is getting out.

cxfinder is an XPath evaluator, a sort of grep which knows XML. you can give him a complete xpath pattern or a simple string. it will evaluate the pattern/text against the document that you pass as second argument. then it will format a report about the elements satisfaying the pattern, with their unique and reversible path.

the code is available on nilleb.com, as usual. a partially completed GTK interface is available on assembla.com, even if based on the last year code/conception. a QT based graphical interface will probably born, in the next year. 🙂
