Hello,
Xidel is a small command line XQuery interpreter to run queries
on downloaded X/HTML pages or JSON-APIs. It supports XPath 3.0,
XQuery 3.0 + JSONiq expressions, compatibility modes for older
XPath/XQuery versions as well as CSS 3 selectors and custom
pattern matching.
The 0.9.8 version improves various things:
- Cookie handling follows RFC 6265 rather than sending all
cookies to all servers.
- add t:siblings-header/siblings elements to pattern matcher to
match certain element siblings regardless of their ordering
(e.g. table columns).
- add functions x:call-action, x:has-action, x:get-log,
x:clear-log to give programmatic access to multipage templates
and variable changelog.
- add --module, --module-path parameters to load XQuery modules
into (xpath) queries and properly resolve relative paths for
module imports.
- fix system(), file:exists, file:move (override),
file:path-to-uri on Windows
- further minor bug fixes and performance improvements
