XMLStarlet Command Line XML Toolkit

Summary XMLStarlet is a set of command line utilities (tools) which can be used to transform, query, validate, and edit XML documents and files using simple set of shell commands in similar way it is done for plain text files using UNIX grep, sed, awk, diff, patch, join, etc commands

XMLStarlet http://xmlstar.sourceforge.net/ is a set of command line utilities (tools) which can be used to transform, query, validate, and edit XML documents and files using simple set of shell commands in similar way it is done for plain text files using UNIX grep, sed, awk, diff, patch, join, etc commands.

This set of command line utilities can be used by those who deal with many XML documents on UNIX shell command prompt as well as for automated XML processing with shell scripts.

The toolkit's feature set includes options to:

  • Check or validate XML files (simple well-formedness check, DTD, XSD, RelaxNG)

  • Calculate values of XPath expressions on XML files (such as running sums, etc)

  • Search XML files for matches to given XPath expressions

  • Apply XSLT stylesheets to XML documents (including EXSLT support, and passing parameters to stylesheets)

  • Query XML documents (ex. query for value of some elements of attributes, sorting, etc)

  • Modify or edit XML documents (ex. delete some elements)

  • Format or beautify XML documents (as changing indentation, etc)

  • Fetch XML documents using http:// or ftp:// URLs

  • Browse tree structure of XML documents (in similar way to 'ls' command for directories)

  • Include one XML document into another using XInclude

  • XML c14n canonicalization

  • Escape/unescape special XML characters in input text

  • Print directory as XML document


    • XMLStarlet command line utility is written in C and uses libxml2 and libxslt from http://xmlsoft.org/.
    Implementation of extensive choice of options for XMLStarlet utility was only possible because of rich feature set of libxml2 and libxslt (many thanks to the developers of those libraries for great work).

    XMLStarlet is linked statically to both libxml2 and libxslt, so generally all you need to process XML documents is one executable file. To run XmlStarlet utility you can simple type 'xml' on command line and see list of options available.

    XMLStarlet is open source freeware under MIT license which allows free use and distribution for both commercial and non-commercial projects.

    We welcome any user's feedback on this project which would greatly help us to improve its quality. Comments, suggestions, feature requests, bug reports can be done via SourceForge project web site (see XMLStarlet Sourceforge forums, or XMLStarlet mailing list)
