Thanks for this article. I have been looking for this type of functionality for a while and thought I would have to roll my own. Now I can return to being lazy!

  You might also take a look at this one (XmlStarlet Command Line XML Toolkit)

  
  http://xmlstar.sourceforge.net/

  
  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

  
  Convert XML into PYX format (based on ESIS - ISO 8879)
