Uses its own query syntax. The documentation is <em>very</em> formal. Written in C.

Written in Perl using XML::LibXML and libxml2.</p></li> <li><p><a href="http://www.xqsharp.com/xqsharp/" rel="noreferrer">XQSharp</a>: Supports XQuery, the extension to XPath. Written for the .NET Framework.</p></li> <li><p><a href="http://www.lbreyer.com/xml-coreutils.html" rel="noreferrer">xml-coreutils</a>: Laird Breyer's toolkit equivalent to GNU coreutils. Discussed in an interesting <a href="http://www.lbreyer.com/unix_xml-1.html" rel="noreferrer">essay</a> on what the ideal toolkit should include.</p></li> <li><p><a href="http://www.logilab.org/859/" rel="noreferrer">xmldiff</a>: Simple tool for comparing two xml files.</p></li> <li><p><a href="http://xmltk.sourceforge.net/" rel="noreferrer">xmltk</a>: doesn't seem to have package in debian, ubuntu, fedora, or macports, hasn't had a release since 2007, and uses non-portable build automation.</p></li> </ul> <p>xml-coreutils seems the best documented and most UNIX-oriented.</p>
