NAME

       Xtract, XtractLazy - structured ‘grep’-like programs for XML documents

SYNOPSIS

       Xtract <pattern> [ file ...  ]
       XtractLazy <pattern> [ file ...  ]

DESCRIPTION

       Xtract  and  XtractLazy are structured ‘grep’-like programs for XML documents, loosely based on the XPath
       and XQL query languages.  Xtract takes an pattern and reads an XML file from a file or from the  standard
       input  and  extracts information from the XML file and prints it on the standard output.  XtractLazy does
       the same as Xtract but uses the lazy parser combinators instead of the normal parser  combinators  and  a
       such works faster and uses less memory than Xtract.
