NAME

       Xacobeo - XPath (XML Path Language) visualizer.

SYNOPSIS

       xacobeo file [xpath]

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.

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.

PROJECT

       The project is hosted on Google Code (http://xacobeo.googlecode.com/) which provides the latest source
       code (SVN trunk) and a simple bug tracking.

       Although Google Code provides a download facility, the project's source code bundles will always be
       published through CPAN. It's easier this way for the project and after all this is a Perl project!

BUGS

       Please when possible try to submit the bugs through the Google Code Issue Tracker
       (http://code.google.com/p/xacobeo/issues/list) otherwise simply create a ticket through RT.
