NAME
Xtract, XtractLazy - structured ‘grep’-like programs for XML documents
SYNOPSIS
Xtract <pattern> [ file ... ]
XtractLazy <pattern> [ file ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Xtract and XtractLazy are structured ‘grep’-like programs for XML
documents, loosely based on the XPath and XQL query languages. Xtract
takes an pattern and reads an XML file from a file or from the standard
input and extracts information from the XML file and prints it on the
standard output. XtractLazy does the same as Xtract but uses the lazy
parser combinators instead of the normal parser combinators and a such
works faster and uses less memory than Xtract.
