Well, you probably have libxml2 installed, so you can play with
xmllint --shell xml_document
This parses the document and open a shell in the good old tradition
of unix but operating on the document instead of the filesystem. It's
not graphical but I find it useful from time to time when I have to
design XPath expressions:
paphio:~ -> xmllint --shell XML/test/valid/REC-xml-19980210.xml
/ > cd //p
//p is a 313 Node Set
/ > cd (//p)[12]
p > ls
t-- 472 XML was developed by an XML Working Grou...
p > pwd
/spec/body/div1[1]/div2[1]/p[1]
p > cd ..
div2 > ls
t-- 1
--- 1 head
t-- 1
--- 1 p
t-- 1
--- 3 p
t-- 1
--- 3 p
t-- 1
--- 5 p
t-- 2
div2 > cd ..
div1 > grep Maler
/spec/back/inform-div1[5]/orglist/member[11]/name : t-- 20 Eve Maler, ArborText
div1 > cat head
-------
<head>Origin and Goals</head>
div2 > help
base display XML base of the node
setbase URI change the XML base of the node
bye leave shell
cat [node] display node or current node
cd [path] change directory to path or to root
dir [path] dumps informations about the node (namespace, attributes, content)
du [path] show the structure of the subtree under path or the current node
exit leave shell
help display this help
free display memory usage
load [name] load a new document with name
ls [path] list contents of path or the current directory
xpath expr evaluate the XPath expression in that context and print the result
pwd display current working directory
quit leave shell
save [name] save this document to name or the original name
validate check the document for errors
write [name] write the current node to the filename
grep string search for a string in the subtree
div1 > exit
paphio:~ ->
It doesn't aim at replacing a graphical XPath evaluator, but it's fun
and kindof useful sometimes :-)
