NAME

       xacobeo - Graphical interface for running XPath queries.

SYNOPSIS

       xacobeo [OPTION]... [file [xpath]]

       Options:

          -h, --help            brief help message
          -v, --version         display the version of Xacobeo, XML::LibXML and libxml2
                                that are used and exit
          --html                parse the input file as an HTML document

DESCRIPTION

       This  program  provides  a  simple  graphical user interface (GUI) for executing XPath queries and seeing
       their results.

       The GUI tries to provide all the elements that are needed in order  to  write,  test  and  execute  XPath
       queries  without  too many troubles. It displays the Document Object Model (DOM) and the namespaces used.
       The program registers the namespaces automatically and each element  is  displayed  with  its  associated
       namespaces.  All  is  performed with the idea of being able of running an XPath query as soon as possible
       without having to fight with the document's namespaces and by seeing automatically under which  namespace
       each element is.

       This program is not an XML editor, at least not at this point, it's meant to be used for constructing and
       executing XPath queries.

RATIONALE

       The  main idea behind this application is to provide a simple way for building XPath queries that will be
       latter integrated in to a program or XSLT transformation paths. Therefore, this program goal is  to  load
       an  XML  document and to display it as an XML parser sees it. Thus each node element is prefixed with its
       namespace.

IMPLEMENTATION

       This program uses XML::LibXML (libxml2) for all XML manipulations and Gtk2 for the graphical interface.

LIMITATIONS

       For the moment, the program focuses only on XPath and doesn't allow the XML document to be edited.
